FORD V8 18

3-window coupé, Victoria coupé, Tudor sedan, Fordor sedan, convertible cabriolet.

First of the line. Up to 75-80mph, can see almost any contemporary off if you're brave enough. Strictly a '32 model elsewhere, but Dagenham built them till late '33. Now very rare and expensive. Bodies quoted here - and for other V8s with the 221 engine - are those available in Britain.
