Amid rumours that several States were preparing to ban his Model T due to its 'unsafe' hand-operated braking system, Henry Ford begrudgingly succumbed to pressure and authorised development of a successor. Introduced in December 1927, the Model A was greeted with unprecedented demand. Longer and lower-slung than the Model T, it retained transverse-leaf suspension but proved significantly more refined. Designed by Howard Hicks, its 3285cc, L-Head four-cylinder engine developed 40bhp (twice the Model T's output) boasting niceties like coil ignition and integral water pump. Mated to a three-speed manual gearbox, it gave a top speed of 65mph necessitating the fitment of four-wheel braking.

This attractive Model A Roadster is a RHD example that had previously competed in VSCC events before becoming part of the Aberaeron Collection in 2016. The subject of a bodywork restoration and repaint, interior re-trim, re-chroming, new hood plus cover and the addition of a luggage trunk in current ownership ‘XSU 215’ is offered with a collection of photographs and old MOT certificates, old style Blue logbook, VSCC eligibility document and a current V5C document.
