I didn't know people made videos like this any more. No clickbait title/thumbnail or caricature personality with long intros/outros. I loved that there was no commentary, none was needed. I really enjoyed the video, thank you.

Even more impressive that it came alive is the fact that it's still holding in one piece with that much rust.

Impressive how this machine still holds

Good old Ford. 🤗 Last year I started my 1986 Ford Escort diesel after 10 years without a problem. Thanks for your videos.

This was a great van to work, impressive how it runs and drives even with that rust and stuff.
Hope some parts can save other vans like this one.
Love your work and videos always waiting for another video.
Keep saving and start this good old cars !!! The brands dont make more cars like this anymore...

This engine is unbelievable reliable. I have 89’ 2.0ohc Ford Sierra and it still works perfectly, im using it for ice track driving.

Our mate's farm has an old W reg transit from 1980 they paid £15 for it from a carpet factory in kidderminster back in 1992 its never once let them down its carried calves, sheep horses hay bale's, equipment and every part is held on by bailing twine, the mad thing is it outlived the factory that once owned it 😂

Really impressive that each time, he manages to restart cars like this transit in a state closer to the scrapyard than to a rolling car, you are incredible well done from France 🇨🇵

Another great video from Flexiny.
Transit starts and runs despite looking worse than VW II.
I had a couple of these, -98, 2.5 TD with Lucas dieselpump as a daily driver and -97 2.5D with Bosch pump as donor car. Good vans except rust, have done about 90 000 km with it.
Notice also not quite usual 6-bolt pattern but ordinary rear wheels mounting, mine ones had 5-bolts pattern (were short wheelbase both).

I love how the engine slowly wakes up, after a long slumber. Little by little and step by step and finally is back on its feet for another ride...

Love it when old sunken tires pop out of the ground 😍😄

The paint is what keeps it standing, incredible the amount of rust it has

Petrol Transit 😮 not many in the UK with this engine, most this shape had 2.5 Di. Good to see the old pinto live again, and another uncommon thing was the Weber twin choke carb, rarely seen on a Transit!! Thought the rear axle was going to come out of the van before the ground gave back the van!! 🤣👍👍

Haven’t seen an early Mk2 Transit in absolutely bloody ages. I remember years ago there was a blue and white 4x4 Transit a few houses up from me, that was an F reg (1989ish?) and was looking pretty tired by that point already and this was the early 2000’s. The later ‘Smiley Face’ Mk2 facelifts were still somewhat common and could be seen up until late 2000’s or early 2010’s. Mostly all been run into the ground as workhorse vehicles and now scrapped. 😕

To see an early version and a Pinto petrol engine version especially is very strange to me as a Brit, I can only ever remember diesel powered ones. That old Pinto sounded pretty tired, brought back memories of clapped out Sierras and Mk3 Granadas. 😆

Finally it came to life! Thank you so much! Because we don't want that classic Transit to get scrapped, if it was, then that's a sad end😢

[twocvbloke]

Always seems weird to see a transit but not hear that usual 2.5L diesel engine sound, just got so used to hearing the diesels clattering about here in the UK that the petrol models seem "unusual" to my ears... :P

Хорошо потрепала жизнь этот Транзит, но он всё же поехал. Техника на века!👍🏻

[юлташ]

Что могу сказать, только БРАВО!!! Воскрешение авто это большой плюс!!! Только судьба ввто далее не известно!!! Может кому то сие авто нужно очень сильно!!!
