Introduced in 1917, the Ford Model TT remained in production for a decade. Rated at 1-ton, for load-carrying purposes, the newcomer utilised a longer, heavier gauge chassis than its Model T passenger car sibling but the same torquey 2.9-litre four-cylinder engine and epicyclic transmission. The commercial variant also featured a stronger worm drive and crown wheel back axle and heavier-duty suspension. Initially available in chassis-only guise, the Model TT could be had with a factory body from 1924 onwards. A formidable workhorse that proved its worth in all corners of the globe, the indomitable Ford has been credited with inspiring America’s love for the pick-up truck.
Manufactured in 1925, the Model TT offered is believed to have been supplied new to the United States of America. Residing in America for over 95 years, the Model TT was imported onto British shores in 2021 by the vendor as an addition to his small private collection, which includes several Model Ts. Finished in Maroon paintwork with Black wings and bonnet, the TT has a complementary Black interior upholstery. Subject to significant restoration and improvement work since being purchased by the vendor, the Truck has been converted to recovery style with a bespoke winch and has had extensive restoration works to the bodywork and cab. Benefitting from a Ruckstell rear axle (providing four speeds for Fords), Warford gearbox (which cost some £3,000), Rocky Mountain brakes, and importantly runs on both coil and ignition. Starting readily and running well during the recent photography session, the Ford has been used with local runs and is supplied with a current V5C document.
