The five millionth Transit rolled off the Southampton line on Monday 18 July 2005 and was donated to an English charity. A demonstration of the speed of the Transit with the smallest panel van body, rear wheel drive, 136 PS 2.4 liter Duratorq turbo diesel and optional six speed manual gearbox was shown in series 6 of Top Gear in 2005, when German driver Sabine Schmitz attempted a lap of a famous track.
