In Brief:
A charming and high original of Ford's 8hp 7Y Tudor
Finished in Black over Brown leather
In the same family for the last 17 years
A great amount of history on file tracing right back to 1939
Auctioneer’s Notes:
A wonderful pre-war Ford 7Y Tudor, offered in very original condition and carrying a story that few cars of this era can match.
Finished in classic Black over a Brown leather interior, this 1939 example has been in the same family for the last 17 years and has only recently been transferred into the Vendor’s name following the passing of his father.
With charming patina throughout and a truly exceptional paper trail, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a genuine, unspoilt survivor from the final months before the outbreak of the Second World War.
Maintenance & Condition:
The car presents very much as an honest original, showing age-related blemishes to the bodywork but remaining solid and full of character.
The interior retains its period Brown leather,...
