The first Ford sold in Great Britain was the Model T; It proved popular and by 1911 over 400 American-built examples were being purchased per annum from premises in London's Shaftesbury Avenue. A disused carriage works at Trafford Park Manchester was then acquired in 1912, from where Model Ts were assembled for the ensuing fifteen years. The famous Dagenham plant came into being in 1931, which gave rise to the first car to be produced independently by Ford of Britain, the Model Y. Powered by a 933cc four-cylinder sidevalve engine, it was available in Two- or Four-Door guise and, in base specification, was the only Saloon available for £100.

This supremely characterful two-door Model Y has history from 1958, when it was painted Black and owned by Keith Jesse Pannett of Bromley, Kent. In 1959, it was bought by Elsie Walker of nearby Hayes. She changed the colour to Blue in 1960 and gave the car to her son—our vendor—as a present in 1963. Necessary renovations then took the best part of forty years, with the vendor treating it as a do-it-yourself job to begin with, even making some of his own tools. After the engine was overhauled, the project stalled following a bereavement, and when the vendor resumed work in 1998 he enlisted a professional to speed its completion. After renovating the fuel pump, fitting a reconditioned carburettor and a new coil, remaking the driver’s seat base and completing the trimming of the rear seat, the vendor finished the work himself in the mid-2000s.

In regular use locally since its completion, ‘NJ 3641’ is supplied with a large history file including the current V5C, the 1958 buff logbook, an original 1932-1959 933cc & 1,172cc Parts List, a Ford Popular Instruction Book, an historic mileage log, assorted invoices from 2004 onwards, and several MOT certificates and tax discs.
