SUMMARY
Charming and full of American character, well-crafted Model A Speedster ready to Rock and Roll.
DESCRIPTION
- Personally sourced from Florida and imported in 2018 by our vendor, a private collector
- Described as a very well constructed and handsomely-bodied Hot Rod
- 3.3-litre Ford Model A Flathead inline-four with a manual gearbox
- Some really lovely period features such as the rear lights, Ford Moto-Meter ornament, claxon and pool-ball gear-knob
- Coker Classic corded tyres with contrasting red wire wheels
- UK registered but requires registration plates if you intend to use it on the road
Since the 1920s bootleggers and car enthusiasts have been customising and enhancing their vehicles, a custom car culture which eventually morphed into the first hot-rodders and gained wide acceptance and popularity up until the 1960s. All shapes and sizes, there's no fixed formula for the perfect Hot Rod, but if you asked a designer to draw one, they'd be hard-pressed to come up with better than this. It really is a well-proportioned and good-looking car made complete with the Coker Classic corded tyres sporting contrasting red wire wheels.
Neat features such as the period Ford Moto-Meter radiator cap, the nicely-trimmed black leather seats with red centre stripe, the dished four-spoke steering wheel and external claxon give it an authentic feel. Add to that the 3.3-litre Ford Model A 'Flathead' inline-four with a manual gearbox and more than sufficient performance given the overall light weight of the vehicle, and it's a pretty formidable formula.
This is a UK registered vehicle imported from the East Coast of the USA in 2018. It has been assigned a non-transferable registration for its V5C which is present, but registration numbers will need to be applied to the physical car if you intend to use it on the road.
