Ford Nugget turns 40: limited retro edition and model history
Original source: auto-mania.cz

In Brief

Ford has unveiled a limited-edition Nugget camper to mark its 40th anniversary. The retro-styled version debuts at the CMT show in Stuttgart and goes on sale this spring, priced at 89,646 euros in Germany.

The Ford Nugget, a camper built jointly with Westfalia on the Ford Transit platform, celebrates 40 years since its launch in 1986. To mark the occasion, Ford presented the limited "40 Years of Nugget" series at the CMT trade fair in Stuttgart.

The anniversary edition is based on the Active trim with the long L2 wheelbase and is powered by a 2.0-litre diesel engine producing 170 hp. Its black-and-white exterior and interior design hark back to the original 1986 model. The price in Germany is 89,646 euros.

Model history

  • 1986 – first Ford Nugget with an integrated kitchen at the rear.
  • 2000 – kitchen moved to the centre, space divided into living and sleeping areas.
  • 2023 – new generation with plug-in hybrid, digital control panel and upgraded equipment.
  • 2024 – range expanded with Active and Trail versions, plus an all-wheel-drive option.
