The Model T Ford was launched in 1908 and was the world's first mass produced car, making motorised transport affordable for ordinary working class Americans. The relatively low buying price was made possible by Henry Ford's adoption of assembly line production instead of individual hand building every vehicle, as had happened previously. This technique revolutionised the motor industry and allowed the cost of the car, affectionately known as the 'Tin Lizzie', to be reduced in price from $780 in 1910 to $290 in 1924. Its success spread around the world, with over 15 million being built in its 20 years of production, becoming probably the most important vehicle ever made. Henry Ford’s Model T embodies the spirit of an era that revolutionised personal and commercial transport, proving to be a visionary breakthrough that made motor vehicle ownership accessible to millions of middle-class families, and transformed the movement of people and goods forever.

Adapted throughout its production life for countless roles, arguably one of the most practical adaptations of the Model T was the pickup, making it into a workhorse for tradesmen, farmers, and small businesses alike. This particular example has been lovingly owned and maintained by the enthusiast vendor for the past 25 years. It has been a regular feature at shows and charitable events over the years as well as being used by him for many pleasure drives. It boasts a self-starter system, eliminating the need for traditional hand cranking, a modern convenience in a vintage frame. Whether you're a collector, enthusiast, or someone who appreciates the charm of early motoring, the Model T is full of character, offering a unique insight into early automotive transport. The car has been used this summer and will be supplied with a green continuation VE60 log book from the 1970s, showing its original registration number was 'KL 28' issued in Kent between May 1924 and September 1925, together with a current V5C on its age related number.
