• Ford has rejoined the pickup market with the Transit Flareside, which sells at £10,495 (ex-VAT). After a protracted pause the new model effectively replaces the late P100, and is not intended to compete with heavier dropside vehicles such as the Nissan Cabstar and LDV models. But the Flareside still offers a payload of 1.1 tonnes, and its lngimex-sourced aluminium and composite loadbed measures 2.46m long by 1.63m wide and 0.46m deep. The Flareside is based on the 2.8 tonne GVW Transit 120 chassis, fitted with the 70hp version of its 2.5-litre DI diesel. It will be sold through Transit Specialist Dealers, with a range of accessories such as a tonneau cover, ladder bars and a loadspace top.
