To celebrate the Ford Transit’s 50th birthday, Manheim is holding a fortnight of birthday sale events from 3rd to 14th August, at all seven of its commercial vehicle auction centres and Manheim Online. At each auction event, for every Transit sold, Manheim will pledge £10 to charity, with £5 donated to Macmillan Cancer Support, a charity long-supported by Ford UK and £5 going to the Manheim Foundation.

In addition to the auctions, Manheim is also running its ‘Backbone of Britain’ Tour, with James Davis, Manheim’s Director of Commercial Vehicles and Matthew Davock, Manheim’s Head of LCV, running ‘Transit 50th’-branded vans around the country to each auction event.

James Davis said: “The Ford Transit is Britain’s undisputed best-selling van, so we felt it appropriate as the UK’s undisputed number one commercial vehicle auction business to support its 50th birthday celebrations. Whether they are young or old, low mileage or have been around the clock, demand for the iconic van remains high and we are proud to sell thousands of them to buyers across the UK every year.”
