Rare UK-built De Luxe model; interesting history from new; just two owners from 1934 - 2023; restored in the late-1980s; only 1,100 miles on fully rebuilt engine; runs like a sewing machine; original number plate; lots to love about this oneAs Jeremy Clarkson memorably discovered, you can stick a modern motorist in a Ford Model T and they will be out of their depth within seconds.
Put them in a Model A though, and they will be in the next county before you know it.
Light years ahead in every way, the A is a delight to drive and caused such a sensation when it was launched in December 1927 that riot police had to be deployed outside Ford showrooms to control the crowds.Longer, lower-slung and better-suspended than its predecessor, the American market Model A was powered by a Howard Hicks-designed 3,285cc, L-head four-cylinder engine developing 40hp (twice the Model T's output) with bags of torque and boasted coil ignition and an integral water pump.
