History
Here we have a rare unrestored Ford Model-T Pickup that can be used as
it is or gradually improved over time. Currently on French number
plates and with no paperwork, it was apparently used for many years as
a workhorse in various French vineyards. Still said to be in good
running order, it has recently been treated to a new radiator, new
coolant hoses, new plugs and leads and reconditioned trembler coils.
New oak planks have been fitted to the sides and bottom of the load
area, which still sits on its original ash crossbeams. The vehicle will
be fitted with a canvas roof covering and a side-mounted wheel carrier
before the sale. Looking splendidly original (and, to these eyes at
least, somewhat spooky!), this is a very rare vehicle that should amply
reward the sympathetic restoration that it now requires.
