An icon from my youth.
When growing up the Ford Transit van seemed to have cornered the market and was used by all manner of businesses to transport goods. Like this minibus here they were also popular for transporting small groups. I travelled in one on many occasions to and from school cross country meetings.
Given that they were produced in huge numbers from 1966 I am surprised that no older models are seen on our roads. This one which looks like a particularly early example was photographed in the streets of Nicosia.
The city of Nicosia sits on the border between Cyprus and Turkish influenced Northern Cyprus. There is a huge difference in the infrastructure between the two halves of the city. This view was taken in one of the more orderly streets of the northerly half of the city.
