1926 FORD MODEL TT PICK-UP TRUCK
Registration No. HJ 5624
Engine No. 12976292
Green and black livery
Engine: four cylinder monobloc, 3¾ x 4 ins. bore & stroke, 2,892cc, side-valve (L-head), water-cooled by thermo-syphon, flywheel magneto to trembler coil ignition; Gearbox: epicyclic two-speed & reverse planetary. Shaft drive to bevel back axle; Suspension: transverse leaf front and rear; Brakes: by hand lever to rear wheels, by foot pedal on transmission. Right-hand drive.
Ford's first catalogued commercial vehicle chassis had appeared in 1912 as a model T van. After the end of the war it was not uncommon for ex-War Department vehicles to be rebodied for commercial use; indeed, by mid-1919 Ford's long wheelbase Model TT one tonne truck was available on the commercial market. Other production variants included pick-ups, drop side trucks and vans of various descriptions.
A TT Chassis cost between $325 and $430 in 1926, with bodywork ranging from $50-110. This Model T truck was originally registered on Guy Fawkes Day, 5th November 1926 and would have been supplied locally, since its registration pre-fix confirms it to have been first registered under the jurisdiction of Southend-on-Sea County Borough Council. A 1930 log book with the car denotes Edwin Porter Partridge of The Lindens, Wickford, Essex as its owner, and states that a year later it was sold to Maldon Garage Ltd. after which no further history is recorded.
This Model T is presented in very tidy order, having been cosmetically restored in recent years, and today sports a pick up style body with fold down sides, while its cab is to popular semi enclosed form, with oval windows on the sides.
Fitted with disc wheels and solid tyres on its back axle, it is also offered with a modern V5 document.
