Hot Rods &
Customs For Sale
This is where members of the Vintage Hot Rod Association can advertise their VHRA eligible cars for sale. To advertise a car, you’ll need to email us photographs, a full description, price and your contact details, all of which will be included in the advert. Ads must include a price, so no “offers” or “POA” please. Cars do not need to be complete, but they do need to be together enough to show that they meet the rules for joining the club.
There’s no fee for this service and your ad will run for two months, but please remember to let us know if the car is sold ahead of that. This service is only available to VHRA members that are private sellers, not those in the motor trade.
If you're in the market to buy, then please direct your queries to the contact details in the adverts, not to the VHRA.
1932 Ford Cabriolet
After 10 plus fantastic years, Nick has decided to sell his 1932 Ford cabriolet on to a new custodian.
Built from a stripped down old ’32 ford race car broken up in the States 20 years ago, and managing to trace the original missing door still with its crab claw flames to complete the re-assembly. This VHRA approved 40s style hot rod has raced in the UK since the 1st Pendine, drag raced at the Vintage Nationals, appeared on the dirt track at the Hayride, GOW! Speed Hill Climb, and raced at many events all over the UK.
Been driven to all events, raced and back home again, well, unless you break it! It's reliable and handles as well as any period built hot rod.
