For Sale: 1939 Ford Coupe in Witney, Oxfordshire

Vehicle Description

Rally Preparation Services Ltd is delighted to offer for sale this superb 1939 Ford Coupe long distance vintage rally car. Built in 2016 by ourselves specifically for long distance and adventure rallies to the present owner’s specification, a full nut and bolt body off restoration was undertaken. Using all our combined knowledge of preparing cars for classic and vintage rallying the result is an eye-catching and evocative Ford Coupe complete with authentic “flat-head” V8 burble.


The ’38 Ford coupe was largely a carry-over from 1937 so for ’39 Ford pulled out the stops. The grille was raised with prominent chrome horizontal dividers while the “alligator” hood gives better under bonnet access. Changes were made to carburation although power stayed at 85bhp. More importantly, Ford finally adopted hydraulic brakes. Curiously perhaps, Henry Ford had largely avoided hydraulic brakes, no doubt on the basis of cost but finally yielded to market pressure from rivals Chrysler and Chevrolet. Ford to this day have a crack team of accountants! 


Since build the car has had little use venturing out on the 2016 Rally of the Incas and the 2018 Paris to Amsterdam. Fully re-prepared since, she is now turn-key ready to go and capable of completing any of the toughest events in the world as a potential winner.


The car is currently residing at RPS’ sister company - the SASCo storage facility and available for inspection.
