Ford Transit
Description: The Ford Transit has been the biggest selling commercial vehicle in the country since its launch in 1965. Newest Review: ... detritus, and three or four large bags and suitcases filled with clothes. I initially chose the smallest Transit with the low ... more  ... roof as it would make the ferry crossing to Guernsey cheaper (the larger high-roof would have been more than 5m long and 3m high, so would have incurred greater ferry costs), but once I had packed in the sofa, TV and chest of drawers (bought from a friend who was also emigrating) I began to panic that it would not all fit in.
