Re: Haaaaappy Neeew Yeeeear!! Woooops!!!
Pic one is not necessarily British. It is not the usual drop frame front axle the Ford factory used. The vehicle has a whole front end modification. Gone is the transverse front spring. It has dumb irons added, a different front axle and eliptical springs.

Perhaps the spurious front axle is why the vehicle flipped on it's side.

Re: Haaaaappy Neeew Yeeeear!! Woooops!!!
The first photo of the turned over advertising T looks as if the T was top heavy and made a turn and over it went. The different style front axle being added to help with the steering or???
Or could it be another frame altogether and the T body added.

Re: Haaaaappy Neeew Yeeeear!! Woooops!!!
Thanks for the pictures, Tom.
I would speculate the picture of that fore-door T that Jason recently bought is a '12 near the time the one piece dash was introduced. Note the Murphy fastener near the "dip" for the side curtain. On my Novemberish '11 they were still below the fore-door, like on the earlier open cars. There is no way the front side curtain could be used on my car without someone outside to button and unbutton it!

Re: Haaaaappy Neeew Yeeeear!! Woooops!!!
Interesting 4th from the bottom roadster. There’s something about that cowl that doesn’t look right and the hood looks newer. ‘15-‘16 ? due to flat LR fender ? And the windshield & brackets are unlike anything I’ve ever seen…..”Hub dust cover ? I don’t need no stinkin hubcap”
