Brickwork firm show off their vibrant new Ford Transit Connects

In their latest press release, Ford is pleased to share that Barnes and West, a Nottingham brickwork firm, has ordered two short-wheel-base and one long-wheel-base Transit Connect models in vibrant Mars Red, a standard colour from Ford’s palette. However, with some creative thinking from the dealer’s decal designer, dark cream paint has been added to represent brick mortar. Once sign-written with the company’s name and contact details, the result is a finish that makes Barnes & West stand out from the competition.

The particular models chosen, supplied by Sandicliffe Ford dealership, are all top-of-the-range Limited models with alloy wheels, air-conditioning and Bluetooth connectivity as standard. Inside, the load area has been fully ply-lined and specialist roof racks have been fitted to allow external large load carrying, and for added security, vehicle tracking devices have been installed.

Barnes & West owner, Colin Barnes, has operated more than 30 Ford vehicles during the three decades that the company has been in business. “They’re reliable, spares are readily available and with all the extras, they do the job for us.” He was also full of praise for Sandicliffe Ford, adding: “I like that it manages everything for us, it’s very easy and allows me to just turn up and collect them.”

The Ford Transit Connect looks stunning in that vibrant red, don't you think?
