1913 Ford Model T Speedster | American Brass Era Automobile

A remarkable and characterful 1913 Ford Model T Speedster, built in the tradition of the legendary Speedsters of the early twentieth century. This type was inspired by the  sporting models built at the time for enthusiastic young drivers,  including the famous Speedster that Henry Ford had built for his son Edsel according to his own design. This Ford combines the charm of the pioneering years of motoring  with a strikingly sporting appearance. Thanks to its authentic Speedster bodywork and numerous period-correct details, this is a car that attracts attention wherever it goes and is instantly recognisable at events, rallies and historic gatherings. Much of this car's history is known. For example, it has formed part of museum collections in both the United States and the Netherlands. In addition, the Ford participated in various historic racing demonstrations, both in America and in Europe. The car features various period-correct tuning components that were also popular in the 1920s among enthusiasts seeking improved performance:

• Buffalo quick-change wheels,  a rare competition specification widely used at the time. • RAJO overhead-valve cylinder head,  an iconic upgrade from the early years of motor racing.

• Modified gearing for higher cruising speeds, enabling speeds in excess of 100 km/h.

• Stromberg 97  downdraft carburettor, a classic performance component fitted as standard to Lincoln V8 models.

The Ford is in sound mechanical condition and ready for immediate use.

An exceptional example for the collector seeking an early motor car with presence, history and driving pleasure.
