Following in the Model T's wheeltracks would not be easy for the model that succeeded it, but the Model A rose to the task admirably. Its popularity extended way beyond the Ford showrooms and as the years passed it became a go-to car for the emerging hot rod scene, as well as those looking at other forms of motor sport. This unique Model A speedster presents very well, the minimal bodywork echoing 1920s boardtrack racers and imparting a rakish air, and its green paint appears good. The equally minimal 'interior' features two bucket seats (with lap belts) and enough instruments to keep within the legal speed limit and monitor the engine. The car benefits from recent restoration work, however the engine requires rebuilding to complete the work. A recent independent inspection is available detailing all the work which will be required, please contact a specialist to discuss this exciting project.
