Ford Nugget Turns 40: From Simple Camper to Hybrid
Original source: t-online

In Brief

The Ford Nugget celebrates its 40th anniversary. Launched in 1986 with Westfalia on a Transit base, it evolved from a simple camper to a hybrid while keeping its core concept.

The Ford Nugget is celebrating 40 years since its launch in 1986. The motorhome, based on the Ford Transit, was introduced together with Westfalia and was initially positioned as a compact vehicle for daily use and travel. The first version featured a two-space layout with a kitchen at the rear and a fold-out roof tent.

A key change in 2000 was moving the kitchen to the central area and dividing the space into living and sleeping zones. According to sources, the camper has changed significantly technically — from a simple Transit conversion to a hybrid camper — but its basic principle has remained constant. In early 2026, an anniversary edition was released with references to the original.
