1912 Ford Model T Torpedo Runabout For Sale by Auction

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' The Sáragga Collection event, 21 September 2019. Estimate:€20, 000 - €30, 000 Racy Torpedo RunaboutCharming restorationCorrect 1912 colour Ford offered two new body styles for 1911—the Torpedo Runabout and the Open Runabout. These two differed from other models in having curved rear fenders, a longer bonnet, lower seating, and a round 16-gallon fuel tank. The Torpedo Runabout had doors, while the Open Runabout did not. This car is the Torpedo Runabout, which alone continued into 1912. It has been restored in dark blue, the standard colour prior to the adoption of black paint in 1913. It is very clean and nicely detailed, the cockpit upholstered in correct diamond-buttoned black leather. A right-hand-drive car, it was likely supplied by Ford in Britain. The brass lighting is of genuine Ford-script E&J manufacture. Although the Torpedo Runabout was second in production only to the touring body in 1912, good examples are extremely hard to find. Atrevida carroçaria Torpedo RunaboutRestauro encantadorCor correta para modelo de 1912Em 1911, a Ford disponibilizou dois novos tipos de carroçaria — o Torpedo Runabout e o Open Runabout. Diferiam dos restantes modelos por terem guarda-lamas traseiros arredondados, um capô mais longo, bancos mais baixos e um tanque de gasolina cilíndrico, com 60 litros de capacidade. O Torpedo Runabout tinha portas, o Open Runabout não. Este exemplar é um Torpedo Runabout, o único dos dois que se manteve em produção no ano seguinte. Foi restaurado em azul escuro, a cor padrão do Model T antes da adoção do preto, em 1913. Apresenta-se imaculado e muito bem detalhado. O interior forrado em pele tem botões em capitoné. Sendo um exemplar de condução à direita, foi provavelmente entregue novo pela Ford no Reino Unido. A iluminação em latão é original Ford, com correta marcação E&J. Embora o Torpedo Runabout tenha sido o segundo Model T mais produzido em 1912, atrás apenas do torpedo normal, bons exemplares são extremamente difíceis de encontrar.
