Ford K – other van models: the collective page of early vans before the Ford Transit, FK 1250 and Taunus Transit, four-cylinders, gross weight 2 to 2.4 tonnes
This page gathers Ford vans outside the named ranges, including the FK 1250 type and the Taunus Transit, a light van Ford sold in Germany under the Ford Taunus name before the internationally unified Ford Transit was introduced in 1965, replacing the separate Cologne and British ranges. The vehicles date from a period when the Cologne plant still developed its own commercial-vehicle ranges alongside the British sister plant in Dagenham.

The register lists here 5 versions with four-cylinder engines, unladen weights from 1,063 to 1,745 kg, gross weights from 2,010 to 2,400 kg and widths from 1,740 to 2,000 mm.
With gross weights around 2 to 2.4 tonnes, these early Ford vans sit in the light class from which a shared European range for the Cologne and British plants emerged in 1965 with the introduction of the Ford Transit; the predecessor models partly remained in commercial use into the 1970s, mainly with tradespeople and small hauliers.
On these historic vans, rust on cab, load bed and frame, the condition of engine, clutch and brakes, and the parts supply, which for this age class runs through specialists in Ford classics and dedicated vehicle gatherings, count; given how rare these models are, matching the chassis number against the vehicle papers, and checking for prior amateur restoration work, is also worthwhile.
