Lot details Registration No: DXE 468 Chassis No: Y174537 Mot Expiry: Exempt
The first Ford sold in the UK was the Model A. It proved popular and by 1911 over 400 US-built examples of the marque were being purchased per annum from premises in London's Shaftsbury Avenue. A disused carriage works at Trafford Park Manchester was then acquired, from where Model Ts were assembled for the ensuing 20 years. The famous Dagenham plant came into being in 1931, the first car product of which was 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. A very tidy-looking Four-Door Model Y, `DXE 468' vacated the Essex factory in 1937. It's finished in Green over Black, trimmed in Green and rides on Cream-painted wheels. It comes complete with its original and two other buff log books, V5C, numerous invoices, and MOTs dating from 1970 to 2010.
