1918 FORD MODEL T COUPE

This Ford Model T Coupé, known as “Doolittle”, spent most of its life in the north-east of the United States. It was driven by the vendor in the USA on a couple of rallies, thanks to the previous owner, a Mr Kramer of Long Island, New York, who had the car for over 60 years. On Mr Kramer's passing, the vendor acquired it from his estate and imported it into the UK, where it was first registered on 7th October 2014. Since then it has attended several rallies, the last being an event in September 2025 which was accomplished with no issues.

The car features a 4-cylinder, 2.9-litre side-valve engine, with 2-speed epicyclic gearbox. We're told that around the year 2000 the cabin was reupholstered and Rocky Mountain brakes were installed, along with an exhaust whistle. The car is also equipped with a mechanical water pump, flashers and brake lights, and electric starter. It is supplied with 2 boxes of spares including electrical parts and Hickory spokes.

The car's paperwork comprises a 2014 letter from the Model T Ford Register confirming that it “consists of genuine period components” and is “a true reflection of the marque”, together with DVLA number plate authorisation certificate, old photos, insurance papers and NOVA ref number. The V5C is also present, showing no former keepers.

The registration number is non-transferrable.
