1929 Ford Model A

Highlights

  • Engine rebuilt by respected specialist
  • Upgraded with a higher ratio back axle for comfortable cruising

The Appeal

The Ford Model A represented a significant leap forward when it replaced the iconic Model T in 1927, offering more power, better handling, and more sophisticated styling in line with a rapidly changing world. If the Model T created Ford's success, it's doubtless that the 'A' cemented it. 

This particular example stands out for its comprehensive restoration work carried out by a Model A specialist after being imported from Atlanta, Georgia in 2022. The extensive mechanical refurbishment has transformed this vintage vehicle into a highly usable classic that, according to the vendor, "drives like a modern car" while maintaining its period charm.
The car presents in its original factory colour scheme of green with orange pinstripe and matching orange wheels, which we'll sure you'll agree is very striking For the enthusiast seeking a thoroughly sorted pre-war vehicle that can be enjoyed rather than pampered, this Model A offers a balance of vintage character with thoughtful upgrades that enhance its driveability, including a higher ratio back axle, lighter steering, and a mildly tuned engine.
