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. 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 VHRA at the point of sale.
There’s no fee for this service and your ad will run for a month unless an extension is requested. This service is only available to VHRA members that are private sellers, not those in the motor trade. You must be a member for at least six months before you can advertise your vehicle.
If you're in the market to buy, then please direct your enquiries to the contact details in the adverts, not to the VHRA.

1927 Ford Model T Coupe
In a surprise move, Phil Wells has decided to sell on his well proven Model T Coupe.
"Found something so...
1927 steel T Coupe sitting on a 1930 Model A chassis. Never been raced or rallied. Has been on a beach however.
1928/9 fenders, headlight bar and headlights with halogen conversion. Homemade aluminium 4-piece hood. 27T running boards.
Body is generally sound but was an older 'Murican restoration. Paint is therefore thick and cracking and various shades of Henry's favourite. Could do with a blow over, or not.
Custom rad to suit the T grill shell.
'32 front axle on an A wishbone, fitted with '35 rod brakes. Cast iron rear drums on a stock rear axle rebuilt by Bob, with a 3.27 ratio. Stock Model A gearbox. 19" A wheels all round with 4.50 x 19 Blockleys up front and 6.00 x 19" Michelins on the rear. High geared and pulls it easily.
2-tooth steering box.
Rotoshim shocks all round. Handles lovely.
Current engine is a ported GS block with big valves, a rather good cam (wish I had another...), Winfield head, single Stromberg on a period Burns manifold, with a Hallock style cast iron header. White metal mains and inserted B rods on a counterbalanced crank. Lightened flywheel, steel front pulley, 9" clutch.
Or, could be supplied with a rebuilt B engine fitted with a 14.9 head."
Car is located in Norfolk.
Price is £17,500 as is or £15k with the B engine. Or offers. Or not for sale if the thing I've found doesn't happen!
