Wow, I really hope noone have ever felt like it needed new paint and destroyed it like the 15 million T at the Henry Ford.. this one should be photographed in detail and published to show how they were made - in U.K. that day 1926.
Can't remember seeing any reference to this car in The English Model T Ford book?
The horsepower tax really slowed down sales in U.K. for large bore engines like the T. New improved look and special drop frame chassis parts didn't help much..
I drove my Model T into the service area of my local Ford dealer a few years back and got out with a piece of paper in my hand and said 'I have a warranty recall notice on my car'. They weren't impressed with my antics, though they were happy to look the car over a bit.
G'day Frank, how are you, l'm guessing that you've got a busy weekend with all of the travellers heading down to the coast.
cheers David.
With all due respect, I suspect that the car pictured above at the time the picture was taken had indeed traveled only 124 miles....since its last restoration.
Over the past 40 years, I have been fortunate enough to have seen first hand several original paint cars. None of them had original 50 plus year old paint that was as shiny as that depicted above.
Is the location of this car known today?
