Description

Personally sourced from Florida and imported in 2018by our vendor, a private collectorDescribed as a very well constructed and handsomely-bodied Hot Rod3.3-litre Ford Model A Flatheadinline-fourwith a manual gearboxSome really lovely period features such as the rear lights, Ford Moto-Meter ornament, claxonandpool-ball gear-knobCoker Classic corded tyres with contrasting red wire wheelsUK registeredbut requires registration platesif you intend to use it on the roadSince 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, theres no fixed formula for the perfect Hot Rod, but if you asked a designer to draw one, theyd 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 its 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.You can now book a one-to-one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location Monday to Friday between Thursday 29th October - 12th November.
