The first Ford sold in the UK was the Model A. It proved popular and by 1911 over 400 US-built examples of the marque were being purchased per annum from premises in London's Shaftsbury Avenue. A disused carriage works at Trafford Park Manchester was then acquired, from where Model Ts were assembled for the ensuing 20 years.

It comes complete with its original and two other buff log books, V5C, numerous invoices, and MOTs dating from 1970 to 2010.
