i remember having one of them.
but just standart petrol.
thats ages ago.

on the plus, it was very comfy, you could go in corners without tipping it over and it had shape.
not like the newer or even brand new ones.

no bloody low power eco sheit modes.
with big tyres they looking nice.

I'm pretty sure they made another 'tranny' supervan with a 3.5 litre formula one engine. :y

They made 3 supervans.

IIRC none had the F1 engine but used sports prototype/ group c Le Mans type sports car engine or something very similar.

Also think the later ones were not a full size Transit but a 75% scale one.

Renault did a very yellow/ gold Espactic 4 seater dropped on the F1 chassis and running gear, actually saw that run round Silverstone before the 94 British GP
