I have bought a 1923 T in France, with a wooden "Bordelaise" rear body. It was built/erected at Bordeaux. Does anyone know the history of French T building, or an info source? This car is barn find, put away in 1998. Now needs an oily rag wipe down, fettling, and a new canvas all over top.
Never seen one like it. I do not know anything about French made Ts but would love to see more details of this car. Is it 2 seats with room behind?
Very nice and interesting T.
Ian, is there any local T club or anything like it in your area?
The car has a bench front seat, and there is evidence of a removable transverse seat in the back. I aim to fit two bench seats fore and aft on the sides in the back. I am a member of the English T Register but there is no French equivalent.
Vous devez contacter Olivier Chabanne. Olivier est très actif dans l'Organisation des activités du modèle t en France.
