Someone at Ford must have had a helluva sense of humour to sign these monsters off. Meet the white vans from hell…

    Great stuff - Love the cheesy 70's music in the chase sequence!
  • I spoke to CC last year after I'd driven Supervan 3 (which is Supervan 2 fitted with a supercharged Prosport 3000 motor in place of the proper Group C race motor). Somewhat disappointingly he didn't recall a great deal. Perhaps racing in the Seventies is a bit like living through the Sixties: if you can remember it you weren't really there. Or trying hard enough ;-)

    I spent an engaging few hours with Mr Craft last year. Never knew he drove this thing: I'll get some quotes from him about it asap. It has the roll stiffness of a rotten banana

    Looked like a giggle in the wet, but surely 0-60 in 7 seconds is a bit pedestrian for 435bhp??

    Supervan II tickled my fancy nicely though, oh lordy what a noise.
  • I can't believe no one has commented on this yet! It's got to be worth 5 mins of your life just to see Supervan 1 three-wheeling its way through the Thruxton chicane. Such a shame the van has disappeared. Perhaps someone will build a recreation. Imagine it running the hill at the Goodwood Festival of Speed!

    A bit of motor racing trivia here, but its driver in the video is Chris Craft, the guy who went on to build the Rocket with Gordon Murray.
