Auto quiz 402 - Finished

[carsntrucks4you]

This time I was looking for a that Ford had designed for the UK market in 1932. It was the Ford Model Y. The design of the Y was in 1933 used for the 1933 US models. To make it a bit harder I had asked for the Coachbuilder of this Drophead Coupé. It was build by  Salmson & Sons from Tickford/UK. Later known as Tickford. To be presice this car is a 1933 Ford Model Y Cairn Drophead Coupé Chassis no. Y18680. One of only 4 cars build by Salmson & Sons on a Model Y chassis from 1932 to 1934. All of the four car still exist, 3 in the UK and one in Germany. The last you can see on the picture. The picture shows it in the original yellow/black paint job. Now it is green and Black. It was repainted 2010 - 2013. Since 2 years it is mine.

The base model is easy enough, but no luck discovering the coachbuilder so far...

This car predates me with 20 - 30 years! No clue yet.

Congratulations and you won a ride in my Cairn

I had decided it was probably a BSA Ten bodied by Tickford, so I'll give myself half credit. For the life of me I could not find any automotive association with 6 July 2013.

That was when Ford closed its Southampton plant, where Transit vans were made.  It was the last Ford plant in the UK.

I had the Ford Model Y correct but could not find the coach builder.

Good looking little car. Congratulations on owning something so very unusual.

Yeah me too, but then I looked more closely at the wheels and radiator and decided it was a Ford. The UK is awash with Transit vans, quite sad to think they are all made in Turkey.

I wondered if it was yours Michael, lovely car and a bit prettier than a Köln cabriolet?

Here how it looks today

[Richard Bartrop]

I knew it was oneof the little Euro-Fords right off the bat,  but I spent a lot of time looking in the wrong country.
