Description:In Brief:
On the Surface: This 1950 Ford V8 Pilot, finished in a striking Dark Blue over a Dark Brown interior, offers an ‘original patina’. Maintenance: Owned by The Vendor for the past three years, this V8 Pilot remains in good orddercondition. While there are no detailed service records provided, it looks like a genuine example. Over it’s 74-year lifespan, this Ford V8 Pilot has had just three owners. The Model: The Ford V8 Pilot was Ford UK’s first large post-war saloon, built between 1947 and 1951. It features a 3.6-litre V8 engine. Only 22,155 units were made during its production run, making this a rare and desirable model. The V8 Pilot set the stage for Ford’s next-generation models, like the Zephyr Six and Consul, which replaced it in 1951. Sale Insight: This particular V8 Pilot, with its original patina, three-owner history, and the larger 3.6-litre V8 engine, stands as a well-preserved example. |
