Seventy four years after the last car rolled off the production line, Ford has built six brand new examples using 250 engineers taking two years to produce all the parts exactly as on the original.
All are identical to the 1914 version, sold under the slogan 'Any colour you want as long as it's black', which was the first to be constructed on a moving production line. In total more than 15 million were sold worldwide, with 30,000 built at Trafford Park in Manchester, Ford's first factory outside the USA.
The cars, designated the Model T-100, will feature in celebrations throughout the world, including the Goodwood Festival of Speed on July 11 to 13 and the Henry Ford Day on May 11 at the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust museum at Gaydon, Warwickshire.
