This lot will be auctioned via Classic Car Auctions, The Practical Classics Classic Car and Restoration Show Sale 2024 on Saturday the 23rd of March - Sunday the 24th of March, NEC, Birmingham, B40 1NT.
Based on the pre-war Model 62, the Pilot was the first post-war British Ford
81bhp 3, 622cc V8 coupled to a 'three on the tree' manual transmission
The previous keeper owned this Pilot from 1979 until 2021. During that time the car was fully restored and cherished
Finished in gleaming Ford Black with a Caramel leather interior and 'whitewall' tyres
The V8 was rebuilt by the previous owner along with a new wiring loom
The interior was also retrimmed leaving nothing left to do apart from simply enjoy it
Fitted with Marchal high-performance headlights which in themselves carry a £2, 000 price tag
A simply delightful example of a new model that, in 1949, would have been the envy of many
