Lot 42
A 1950 Ford V8 Pilot, registration number JER 192, metallic Gun Metal grey. Introduced in 1947 Ford's V8 Pilot would remain in production until 1951, they cost a not inconsiderable £780, 3 shillings and 11 pence including purchase tax and over 21, 000 rolled off the Dagenham production line. They feature the V8 3. 6 litre engine producing 85 bhp, built in jacks, dual wind-tone horns, electric cigarette lighter and had a top speed of 83 mph and found favour with Police forces as patrol cars. This particular V8 Pilot has been restored and is presented in good condition. It has a retrimmed interior with red upholstery and matching carpets, new headlining and correct Bakelite dashboard and steering wheel. On our inspection to take the catalogue photographs JER 192 started readily (new battery recently fitted) and held good oil pressure. The engine bay is very well presented with restored components and ancillaries in evidence. The resprayed body is also presented in good condition with rechromed brightwork. It is reluctantly for sale due to the owner having a medical condition which is preventing him from driving the car. The Ford is offered for sale with a history file. V5C, MOT and tax exempt See illustrations
Estimate £12, 000 - 14, 000
