The Appeal
Often considered the first mass-produced affordable motor car, the Ford Model T's historical significance cannot possibly be overstated. produced on Henry Ford's revolutionary production lines, this was many families' first motorised transportation.
This 1926 example, fresh from Illinois, USA, features pick up bodywork although is elsewhere paired back in the style of the 'Buckboard' racers of the period. Complete with its US Title and EU import taxes paid, this vehicle is ready for its next chapter in Europe. We're sure it would be welcomed at vintage hot rod events, classic car shows, and rallies. This Model T can be enjoyed in its current state or would be an excellent basis for further restoration/improvement work.
