Buy it now - do not wait or you will regret it later when you find someone else has bought it. It's a bargain at that price.

Hi CMI,

If I were you, I would NOT buy it. I recommend you pass on the info to me, and I will turn up with the money and a trailer..... (oops, did I say that out loud?) Smile

Seriously though, buy it. If you dont have the money, then simply sell a kidney. Then you should have change to get new seats as well!

haha, maybe the other one he has is one for you?


Its a loussy picture, but he promised to send me some of both cars in the weekend.
That one is a 1927 Ford T, to 3100 £
he writes about that one:
"Ford T 1927
Ready to the spring. A good winter project.
Chassis is painted. With the following new tires, radiator, Shield, Hood Rack, etc.
Engine might. included in the trade."

Onfourtnely its not possible to trade a kidney away here Wink

I used to be a strong T enthusiast, but have little idea of current values, but looking at what you get for your money, I would say "Buy it before someone else does!"

The T is a marvelous machine. From a modern viewpoint it is quite an eccentricity, but in reality it is a very interesting car and designed to be easy to work on. There are plenty of modern day T enthusiasts about who can offer advice and help.

Buy and enjoy!

Tricky to tell if all the parts are there, but if so it could still be a good buy as roverdriver suggests. I don't like buying dismantled cars though as putting them back together, if you didn't take it apart, can be a real headache.

roverdriver:

But yes im very tempted.

Rick:
yeah that also worries me a bit.
But one there needs restoration and is still assembled,
costs almost 10000£ here.
And a restored an finished one costs about 18000 £

Thanks for the advizes, lets se what happens, another one has just offered me this one: 1949 Ford Prefect E493A for lousey 700 £:


Hate when people do that and I dont have money and room for them all Crying or Very sad
