Manufactured between 1928 and 1931, the Ford Model A Cabriolet is a classic piece of automotive history, blending style, innovation, and practicality. It was part of Ford's revolutionary Model A line-up, which replaced the popular Model T and marked the beginning of a new era in automobile design. The Ford Model A Cabriolet was powered by a 3.3 litre, four-cylinder engine that produced 40bhp, which was a significant improvement over the Model T's engine. This allowed the Cabriolet to reach speeds of up to 65mph, a noticeable upgrade in terms of performance for its time. The engine was paired with a three-speed manual transmission, making the driving experience both engaging and straightforward. What set the Cabriolet apart from other vehicles of the era was its design. It featured a stylish folding soft top, allowing for an open-air driving experience when the weather was right, and a fully enclosed body when needed. The elegant bodywork was complemented by chrome accents and stylish wheels, making the Cabriolet an attractive and sought-after model. Inside, the cabin was comfortable, with simple yet durable upholstery that reflected the utilitarian nature of Ford vehicles. The Model A Cabriolet was affordable, with a base price that was accessible to middle-class families while still offering a sense of prestige. Its versatility made it popular for both everyday driving and leisurely outings.

This Model A Cabriolet is thought to be one of only three examples in the UK. It has been restored to a high standard and presents in delightful condition. Finished in blue with black running boards and a new beige hood, this Ford is certainly a handsome car. The vendor has carried out an extensive restoration over a long period. However, due to lack of use and the loss of suitable storage space, the time is right for the car to be sold. The car is reported to start promptly, run well and drive with no know faults. In right hand drive format, this stylish piece of Americana has a Dickey seat for occasional use. Offered for sale with a V5 registration document and a history folder with a collection of receipts. These idiosyncratic cars are super stylish and are a symbol of the early days of the automobile industry, we believe it would be difficult to find a better example than this.
