From 1909 to 1927, the Ford Motor Company built more than 15 million Model T cars. Without a doubt, Henry Ford transformed the economic and social fabric of the 20th century. The most popular body styles were two and five-seater open touring cars; however, a very wide variety of bodies were available over the years including closed cars, vans and one tonne truck versions. Special bodies and many other parts were available from accessory suppliers so it was possible to convert your Model T car to anything from a 25 seater Charabanc or taxi to a racing car or tractor. Driving a Model T is easy; if you've never driven a conventional car. The accelerator is controlled by hand using a lever under the steering wheel. Forward gears are selected using the left of the three pedals, reverse by using the centre pedal and braking is achieved using the right pedal. Normal cruising speed is 35-40mph and fuel consumption is 20-25mpg.
This 1924 Ford is in the rare body style known as Fordor. Imported into the UK a couple of years ago the car was sold and serviced by Model T specialists ‘The T Service’ in Oxfordshire. This is a rare four-door model and is in a very useable condition although would benefit from a little time and investment. We are advised the 20hp engine runs well and the two speed epicyclic transmission operates correctly. Registered with the DVLA, this Ford is supplied with a V5C registration document.
These quirky vehicles offer great advertising options as well as offering fun in abundance when driven.
