1925 FORD T Torpedo Series 11937736 Same owner for 34 years French registration Very good condition 8000 / 12 000€ Produced in over fifteen million units, the Ford T was obviously well-born! With its simple, sturdy design, pressed-plate chassis and transverse leaf-spring suspension, it differed from the rest of the production line in its special transmission, but proved perfectly suited to the traffic conditions of the time. High on its legs, with a wide track, it made light work of sunken roads and, despite Henri Ford's reputation for conservatism, underwent a certain amount of evolution: the sharp-edged radiator was abandoned in favor of a more classic element, electric lighting offered as an option in 1915, followed by a starter motor in 1919 and removable rims in 1920. The owner acquired this Ford T in 1989. Like the rest of the collection, it has taken part in numerous events and rallies over the last 30 years, although unfortunately it has not been on the road much recently. All the vehicles in the Rollet collection have not been on the road for at least 5 years, so we'll need to get them up and running again. All the vehicles in the Rollet collection have been out of service for at least 5 years, and will need to be recommissionedTous les véhicules de la collection Rollet n'ont pas circulé depuis au moins 5 ans, une remise en route sera à prévoir.
