This 1947 Ford Tudor was imported from Arizona in 2019 by the vendor after having been off the road since the 1980s. It was mechanically recommissioned and used for short trips ever since. The drivetrain is all-original with Flathead V8 engine but the electrics have been updated to 12 volts with a modern fusebox and connectors. The body is described as being ‘virtually rust-free’ beyond the patina. The car is reported as running and driving well with no issues, although it hasn't been used for trips any further than 20 miles since it came to the UK. The Ford comes with various spares such as carburettors, dash instruments, relays, electrical items and brake items.

The car's UK date of registration was July 2019 and the V5C shows only one keeper since its arrival here. There's no MoT or record of one since it came into the country; however, as an historic vehicle, it no longer requires annual testing. The odometer shows 09924 miles. Paperwork includes the V5C, parts invoices and some US invoices.
