![]() Today's car of the day is Hongwell's 2001 Ford Transit. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: Ford Transit ![]() Although other toy makers, including Matchbox, have made the generations of Transit models prior to, and after, Hongwell remains the only toy maker I know of, to offer the 2001-2006 version. The detailing is superb, and those are simulated rubber tires it is riding on. ![]()

I think I have one that is made by Premier Collectables, in 1/43 scale, in Hong Kong Police livery. I'll post pics of it in the near future. |

The Transit in short time has become one of my favorite subject models in small scale. Hongwell did a nice job of offering specifically made wheels for their models. |

Correction: My 1/43 transit is not made by Premier Collectables, rather Unique Replicas. Link to my post here: http://swiftysgarage.net/topic/7039424/1/ |

Wow! That van looks stellar! I'm always a sucker for an amazing Ford Transit. I need to expand my collection to different manufacturers! |
