Dating from 1938, this Ford has been modified into a dragster and now has a 7.4-litre V8 of around 450bhp.

We're told by the vendor that its differential and gearbox have recently been rebuilt.

The Ford was imported into the UK and registered here in April 2014, since when it has had just one registered keeper.

The odometer shows 4646 miles.

There is no MoT; the Ford is now exempt from annual testing as an historic vehicle.

The only paperwork is a V5C.
