This is a 1:18th Schuco model of the 1994 Ford Transit Supervan 3.

In 1994, to promote the new Mark 3 Transit facelift, Supervan 2 was rebuilt as Supervan 3. This was the first time that Supervan had been used to promote a new model, rather than a model already nearing its end of life. A seven-eighths scale replica of the new bodyshell was fitted, along with a new engine, a Cosworth HB 3.5 litre V8. The work was carried out by DRL Engineering of Suffolk. This version also had the longest promotional lifespan, with public appearances up until 2001. It also wore several different Ford's blue & white liveries over the years, but its final appearance was in Royal Mail red, celebrating Ford's new contract to supply their delivery vans.

In 2004 a refurbishment was announced. The 3.5 litre V8 Formula One engine was replaced with a more practical Ford-Cosworth Pro Sports 3000 V6 engine, and the 1984 Ford Motorsport blue and white livery was restored. This work was carried out by Sporting and Historic Car Engineers of Bicester. In 2007 it was suggested that Supervan 3's chassis might be rebuilt into a C100 and used for historic sports car racing.
