AI Listing Summary

This 1930 Model A Ford has an interesting history, possibly starting as a taxi in Argentina before being imported to Southern Ireland. It was restored from a dismantled state for trial competitions and is VSCC eligible. The car is modified and running, offered at a modest guide price.
