Description
1922 FORD T ‘SPEEDSTER’ – History:
Unveiled in 1908, the Ford Model T is undoubtedly one of the most significant cars in history. Conceived by Henry Ford, it revolutionised the automotive industry thanks to its simple, robust design and mass production, making the car accessible to the wider public for the first time.
With over 15 million units produced between 1908 and 1927, the Model T was fitted with a 2.9-litre four-cylinder engine coupled with the famous two-speed planetary gearbox operated by pedals – a layout that became emblematic of early Fords.
Description:
The car on display is a Ford Model T fitted with an elegant ‘Speedster’-style body, giving it a particularly sporty and light silhouette. Restored several years ago, it retains a beautiful patina of age today.
This Ford Model T is finished in an elegant red livery accented with black and gold piping, paired with black upholstery and imitation wood interior panelling.
The car appears to be particularly complete and consistent. It retains its Ford engine, its original planetary gearbox, its folding windscreen, its spoked wheels, its rear boot, its auxiliary fuel tank and its spare wheel. The car exudes great charm and is the result of a period restoration carried out in keeping with the spirit of the era.
The engine bay is complete and in line with the original configuration. The underbody is in excellent condition with a particularly sound chassis, revealing a car that has always been carefully maintained and stored under cover.
This Ford provides an excellent basis for a return to running order or a conservation restoration, ideal for classic car rallies and events
