Tranny

(not to be confused with transvestite). For our continental friends who may not be familiar with the vehicle we often endearingly refer to, here is a brief history of the Ford Transit... First produced in Britain in 1965. 5,000,000 have been produced since, it's had more face-lifts than Joan Rivers. Popular with bank robbers in the 70s along with a Mk2 Jaguar, a sawn-off shot-gun, & ladies stocking, as an essential tool. Further glamorized by the Police TV series The Sweeny & The Professionals. 'Transit' quickly became common parlance as a generic term for any panel van.
