It is on page 258 of the Tom Collins book. I would love to know more of the story and details on this sharp and unusual T. Also I would like to see more pictures of it. Anyone know any details?

Any thoughts on forming the wood for this car?

I've formed curves with 1/8" Baltic plywood, glued up in layers to desired thickness.

The car was built in the 1980's by a chap called Clive William's. He owned an engineering company where he manufactured the bonnet and other bits.

I was at school at the time so do not remember too much, but the running gear was orginally 1920's (full electric's),the car ran on coils and flathead and wasn't overly fast (my brother and his friend were running faster cars).

I haven't seen the car around for many years so do not know it's whereabouts now.

Daniel, I see you are a member of the Model T Register of GB as is a Clive Williams in Cheshire. If you have the member's list there is a phone number and email address if you want to follow it up. I have emailed an enquiry.

Sorry Daniel, that email address was returned undeliverable, there is a phone number too, but s I am in Australia I won't bother him just yet.

What about that parking lever? Is it just stropped and polished steel, or has it been plated? Looks nice. And what is that black thing in the middle of the floor that looks like a bycicle seat?
