In this carphile.co.uk video a UK Ford Model T specialist discusses what they look for when buying a Model T, giving hints and tips about what you should look for when buying one of these cars.
Richard Rimmer is the owner of Model T Ford Specialist, The T Service, based in Weston on Green in Oxfordshire, UK. www.tservice.co.uk/index.html
The Ford Model T was in production from 1908 to 1927, it mobilised the US middle class and is today the car credited with putting America on wheels. Over 16 million were produced in nearly two decades and with many Mode T parts either re-manufactured or available second-hand, the Model T is probably one of the easiest veteran/vintage cars to own and drive in the 21st century.

AI was Watching the show "Roadkill" the other day. Some guy was trying to sell one of these cars and the appraiser told him that over 15 million of these cars were produced and that they were practically worthless as collectors items. The appraiser offered the seller $1000 USD for his car. Wisely, the seller looked at him like he was crazy and turned him down

We had a '15 Touring when I was a kid. I loved that car. My job was to keep the brass shiny, (a never-ending task). Went through many cans of Brasso! My Dad was a car salesman and was always looking for old cars to restore and show. One day a man showed up with a trailer to buy the T. I was devastated and went into the house while they loaded it up. I couldn't watch it go!

As I understand it, you can build a brand new Model T from after-market parts because every part is available. I would like to see a video of someone doing just that. I've never heard of it being done yet.

I think you need a chassis, maybe an engine too. It’ much like when I was a kid and it looked like you could build a VW Bug from the J C Whitney catalogue.

I wish these guys had a shop near where I live. I’d love to have a model T, and at least to me, they are surprisingly cheap considering their age.

honest and very thourogh schooling video of the beloved Model T . It is really a car for everyone to enjoy. get one while you still can. Superb video on the subject, one of the best!

Nice presentation video. My friend grew up in the era along with the Model T. One thing he mentioned was the end of brass was due to the need to divert all brass to the war effort, for bullet casings.

@kens97sto171 6 жыл бұрын

Great video guys some wonderful details on what to look out for. The steel used was Vanadium Steel on the bodies and they very rarely rushed through at least on the cars in the US. and a lot of spare parts are just stored outside even in the snow belt. you'll see they have a nice surface rust patina but very rarely do they get a hole through the panel. Little sanding and fresh paint that is new.

A very well done video, thank you. Quite a lot of very good information, with a well organized presentation to boot. Easy to watch to the very end, makes me wish I still had the 23 T bucket, a car with only one door. The camera work is also very well done. None of the herky-jerky camera movement seen in too many videos on youtube . With not one scene shot while the camera person must by any account be standing on a soccer ball. .

Holy Smokes. This WAS awesome! (Not being facetious... that previous word spelled correctly on first try... but i digress... a lot...as the gummy has kicked-in...) If i may be forced to continue: So well presented and the visuals were great. They built that car and improved it over 19 years - what an accomplishment. ! Great topic, professionally presented, and thoroughly enjoyable. Even if you're not in the T-market!`

Plenty of them around actually. My Buddy has a Model A, there's another one 2 miles from him and another guy in the area using a T as a daily. The A's aren't that expensive either.

How often could you run one of these? I live in a small village and work very close to home, the most I'd need to travel is about three miles to work and three miles back, do you think this type of car could manage that weekdays?

How do you go uphill with the gravity fed fuel it might not work if the hell is steep enough like a 10% grade

@Carphilecouk2014 5 жыл бұрын

Good question - either keep the fuel tank over half full or it's rumoured going up in reverse also works (may be a myth though)

Model Ts make great hot rods! Swap parts, put modern parts on... make it yours. All these cars are unique. Put them in a line and no 2 will be the same
