If you happened to look towards the sky the other night, you might have noticed something was missing.
The Sun.
Well, some of it anyway.
On Wednesday 12th August, millions of people across Europe stopped what they were doing to watch one of nature’s greatest spectacles: a solar eclipse.
For those lucky enough to be in parts of Iceland and northern Spain, the Moon completely covered the Sun, turning day briefly into night. Here in the UK, we had to settle for a partial eclipse.
Which, let’s be honest, is still considerably more exciting than the average Wednesday evening.
People gathered outside. Cameras appeared. Special glasses were worn. Social media filled with photographs from people who had suddenly become experts in astronomy.
And for a few minutes, everyone was looking in the same direction.
Some Things Just Demand Attention
There’s something rather wonderful about an eclipse.
You know exactly what’s going to happen. Scientists can tell you when it will start, where you need to stand and almost precisely how long it will last.
Yet when it happens, we still stop and stare.
Perhaps it’s because some things are simply impossible to ignore.
Which brings us, rather conveniently, to MS-RT and MS-RT Leasing.
Admittedly, comparing a Ford MS-RT to a total solar eclipse might be stretching things slightly.
One involves the precise alignment of the Sun, Moon and Earth.
The other involves motorsport-inspired styling, aggressive bodywork and a vehicle that tends to attract rather more attention than your average trip to the supermarket.
But stick with us. Because whether it’s a Ford Transit Custom MS-RT, Ford Ranger MS-RT or a Ford Tourneo Custom MS-RT, blending quietly into the background has never really been part of the plan.
Built to Stand Out
MS-RT takes familiar Ford vehicles and gives them something very different.
Motorsport-inspired design. Bespoke styling. Road presence.
The result is a vehicle that can still do everything you need it to do during the working week but doesn’t necessarily look like something designed simply to carry tools from one job to another.
And for businesses, that matters.
Your vehicle can be one of the most visible parts of your company. It arrives at customers’ homes, sits outside jobs and travels thousands of miles carrying your name with it.
Why wouldn’t you want people to notice it?
Of course, there is one important difference between yesterday’s eclipse and a Ford MS-RT.
If you missed the eclipse, you’re going to have to wait a very long time for another total one in the UK.
The next isn’t until 2090.
Fortunately, you don’t have to wait quite that long to get behind the wheel of a Ford MS-RT.
And you won’t need the special glasses either.
So, time to put those special glasses away for the next sixty-four years, take a look at the Ford MS-RT range and find the one that deserves a place in your driveway.
