The Attractions
Although the Ford Model T is probably better known, the Model A proved to be an even more revolutionary car. What's more, its driving characteristics and control layout are much more familiar to most modern drivers than its predecessor, and Model A's are still considered among the most usable classic cars today. For these reasons and more, they have been the darlings of hot-rodders and customisation enthusiasts for over seventy years, so finding original examples like this 1930 model can be very difficult indeed.
This particular Model A stands out thanks to the clever and discreet modifications it has received and its excellent state of repair. A partial repaint carried out in Italy has preserved its attractive appearance, while the conversion of the brakes to hydraulic and an upgrade of the electrical system ensure more up-to-date reliability and safety. Equipped with new tyres and a good number of spare parts, this Model A is ready to offer a truly unique driving experience to its next owner.
