TC Harrison Ford is proud to celebrate a historic milestone: the Ford Transit has officially set a Guinness World Record for the Largest Parade of Vans!
To mark the Transit’s 60th anniversary, 201 vans, from classic models to the latest electric versions, gathered at Ford’s Dunton campus and and drove 29 miles to Chelmsford Race Course. This record-breaking convoy was the highlight of the first-ever Transit Festival, bringing together owners, fans, and businesses to honour the van that’s powered Britain for six decades.

Each participant received a Guinness World Record certificate, becoming part of Transit history. Like Peter Lee of the Transit Van Club put it, “Transit has touched millions of lives in its 60 years.”
Lisa Brankin, Managing Director and Chair of Ford UK, said, "Today, we didn't just set a record – we demonstrated the unbreakable bond between our Transit van and people who get the job done. We’re looking forward to another 60 years of Transit powering these pros."
With nearly 60 years as the UK’s best-selling van, the Transit continues to lead the way in innovation, now offering electrified options like the E-Transit and Transit Custom PHEV.

At TC Harrison Ford, we’re proud to be part of the Transit journey. Visit us to explore the full range and find the perfect van for your business.
