Could this be British sourced? |

Ex Wikipedia. “ A disused carriage works at the Trafford Park industrial zone near Manchester was acquired. The original plan was to assemble Ford cars using parts shipped in from United States: the need to invest massively in high cost tooling in order to become a volume car producer had not yet come about, and the former carriage works was assembling Fords by October 1911. By now, Ford's principal model was the Model T, and this is the car assembled at the new plant.” The Dagenham plant opened in 1931, firstly producing the Model AA truck, then the A car, so Model Ts of this vintage could have been assembled at Trafford Park. The right hand drive maybe increases this likelihood. -- Last edit: 2021-11-29 15:54:32 |

You know what's fascinating? It seems to have the later grille from 1917 and later which never came in brass. So, I guess the brass was a custom made feature to our friend here. -- Last edit: 2021-12-22 17:14:30 |
