Hot Wheels Boulevard No. 109 Ford Transit Supervan
The Ford Transit has been a familiar sight for decades — dependable, hardworking and utterly unremarkable. Then Ford did the unthinkable. They took a humble Transit shell, dropped it over a GT40 race‑car chassis, and unleashed it onto the track.
Debuting at Brands Hatch in April 1971, the Ford Transit Supervan stunned spectators as it blasted past purpose‑built race cars at impossible speeds. What looked like a delivery van was, in reality, a mid‑engined monster built to rewrite expectations. This Hot Wheels Boulevard release captures one of the wildest promotional vehicles ever conceived — a van that existed purely to leave jaws on the floor. About the Real Vehicle

Built by Terry Drury Racing as a promotional tool for Ford’s standard Transit range, the Supervan was designed to demonstrate performance by contrast — proving that the same nameplate associated with tradesmen and deliveries could also dominate the racetrack.
Capable of speeds in excess of 240 km/h, the Supervan became an instant legend, spawning multiple evolutions over the years and earning a permanent place in automotive folklore. This Boulevard casting celebrates that original moment when Ford blurred the line between commercial vehicle and race car, creating one of the most audacious machines of the 1970s. Technical Details
