Believed to be one of only four examples in the UK, per the pre-war Ford association
In current ownership since 1975
Dry-stored in a barn for the past 30 years
The Appeal
The Ford Model 40 holds a special place in motoring history as the first mass-produced car to feature a V8 engine. In Phaeton guise, with its open-top body style and that characterful 4.4-litre flathead V8, it is one of the most desirable configurations of this landmark pre-war American automobile. With so few believed to remain in the UK, this is a rare find on these shores and one that warrants serious attention from those seeking a distinctive piece of pre-war motoring history.
This car is believed to be one of only four examples in the UK, per the pre-war Ford association. It has been in current ownership since 1975, dry-stored in a barn for the past 30 years. The vendor says they take it out and turn it over a couple of times a year. As the photographs show, the Ford is well-preserved; an excellent basis for recommissioning work.image.png4.74 MB
