Meet the new Ford Transit Custom. And as icons go, the Transit is right up there with the greatest.

Launched in 65, the Transit changed the way vans could and should be. And, over the decades, the Transit has flourished into a family of models which have dominated the van market. Owned and driven by anyone, it really has become what the marketeers named it as – 'Transit – Backbone of Britain'.

So, with all this heritage, has Ford buckled under the pressure with the new one?

You'll have to watch to find out, but first, here are some details.

It's powered by a range of engines – there are diesels, a petrol PHEV and a fully-electric version. There are high roofs, four-wheel-drive ones, buses and there's even a brand new variant called the MultiCab.

It gets independent rear suspension, some clever new pieces of tech such as 'Delivery Assist', and the interior is as plush as you'll find in a Ford car.

Watch the video to find out what I think of it.
