Launched in 1908, the T's chassis and mechanical components were made from exceptionally durable, high-grade vanadium steel. The Ford also featured a compact 2890cc, side-valve, four-cylinder engine that pioneered the use of a detachable cylinder head. Mounted in-unit with the clutch and two-speed epicyclic gearbox assembly, it developed some 23hp at a leisurely 1,600rpm and 80lbft of torque. Top speed was limited to around 45mph, depending upon bodywork, whilst brakes operated on both the transmission and rear wheels. With the introduction of a moving assembly line in 1913, Henry Ford famously turned his Model T into the world's first mass-produced car. A year later, Model Ts represented 56% of all automobiles manufactured in the USA. However, it was not just the sheer volume of Model Ts rolling off the production line that motorised America, it was the inherent quality of the design.

Manufactured in 1923, chassis no. 7245393 rolled off the production line in March of that year, in left-hand drive configuration and is fitted with Coupe coachwork. Unfortunately, little is known of this Ford’s history, other than it was discovered in America during in 2021, and subsequently imported into the United Kingdom, arriving in 2022. Rallied locally by the vendor, the Coupe was UK registered in October 2022, being provided registration number ‘BF 9967’. The T has been subject to a self-evident previous restoration, with the Ford presented in Black paintwork (what else!), and features Beige cloth interior upholstery. Running and ready for use!
