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, Chassis No: 114111970 rolled off the production line in March of that year. Unfortunately, little is known of the Ford’s history, other than it was discovered in the mid-western American state of Iowa in 2022 and subsequently imported into the United Kingdom. Subject to a self-evident older restoration, the Model TT is fitted with an additional ‘drop-down’ manual transmission and is presented in Green and Black coachwork. Fitted with a wooden bed and enclosed cab with a front bench seat, the Ford is now ready for registration with its first UK keeper (with import duties paid and accompanying NOVA number). The vendor rates Model T as having a ‘very good’ gearbox; a ‘good to very good’ engine; ‘good’ bodywork and electrical equipment and ‘average’ paintwork and interior trim.
