The Appeal

This won’t be the first time you’ve heard this, but it’s worth repeating that the Ford Model T is one of, if not the most important car of all time. It was the first motor car to enter full-scale mass production on Henry Ford’s revolutionary assembly lines, and that meant it was also the first motor car to be considered ‘affordable’.

This 1925 example is the most iconic Model T variant - the Two Seat Roadster Pickup- a true multi-purpose vehicle of its day, incorporating a pickup bed behind the seats. Eat your heart out, so-called 'Sports Utility Vehicles' of today...

As the photographs show, this 100-year-old car is holding up very well, while sporting a delightful patina that befits its considerable age. Accompanied by a wealth of invoices for parts, and a Model T Register of Great Britain certificate of authenticity confirming its age, this venerable old Ford would be a superb addition to any collection or museum.
