Notes

The Model A Ford replaced the venerable Model T late in 1927 (it was designated a 1928 model) and was produced until March 1932. At that stage more than 4.8 million units had been built in nine different body styles. The Model A featured a 201 cub inch (3.3 litre) four cylinder engine producing some 40 horsepower (about 30KW) with a three speed (and reverse) gearbox driving the rear wheels and had four wheel mechanical drum brakes. Today, the Model A is a highly regarded and sought after vehicle in vintage car circles and has a very good reputation for longevity and reliability.

This particular 1930 four-door Phaeton has been in the present ownership for +/- 10 years, previously restored to a very high standard, with excellent detailing, evidently little used since and is still of pristine appearance. The light blue body has darker blue highlights and black wings/fenders, and is mounted on white bolt-on spoked wheels with chromed hubcaps, The spare wheel is mounted at the rear. The dark blue vinyl upholstery and white convertible roof are virtually unblemished.

This vehicle would be eligible for a concessionary licence.
