Description:In Brief:
On the Surface: This is a rare opportunity to own a versatile 1925 Ford Model T, finished in classic factory black with matching black seats. This vehicle has enjoyed a remarkable life having been used many times in the entertainment industry, including being featured in prominent television series like Downton Abbey and Mr. Selfridge. It has also graced the big screen in films such as Fantastic Beasts, Wicked Little Letters, and the soon-to-be-released 7 Dials based on Agatha Christie’s novel. This Model T is capable of transforming from a two-seat runabout to a pick-up, and even a van with the addition of the canvas top. Maintenance & History: This example was acquired by a previous owner in 2010 and then carefully restored. As mention prior it has since served as a versatile prop in various productions. Acquired by the previous owner, once it had been completed, in 2012 to add to his fleet of film hire cars and World War Two military vehicles. The Model: The 1925 Ford Model T is a shining example of Henry Ford’s groundbreaking design, renowned for its simplicity, durability, and mass appeal. With a lightweight 100” wheelbase chassis and a 20hp, 2,896cc four-cylinder engine, the Model T is regarded as the car that set the standard for the automotive industry. Its two-speed planetary transmission, pioneering use of vanadium steel, and compatibility with dirt roads made it a car ahead of its time. By 1925, it had become a symbol of accessibility and reliability, cementing its place in history as the “car that put the world on wheels.” Sale Insight: This Model T is ready to continue its time on-screen or serve as a collectors item. The Vendor assures us the vehicle runs and drives but, for safety reasons, we have opted not to operate it during its current sale. |
