1951 | Ford Pilot V8

With the Pilot, Ford England continued the pre-war tradition of building larger models with V8 engines. The Pilot came out in 1947, first with 2,535 cc, then also with 3,622 cm displacement. These were solid vehicles with a traditional look. The clientele was rather conservative.

Our Ford Pilot Estate Car is very rare in several respects: On the one hand, it is one of only 6(!) left-hand drive cars of this type built in England, on the other hand, it is an estate car with wooden panelling, popularly called “Woodie”. By the way, King George used such a woodie. It stood at Balmoral Castle and was used as a hunting carriage. This classic is occasionally used to transport a surfboard. You can’t go to the beach in more style. The roof rack and the surfboard are included.

The classic will arrive soon.
