An American 1940 Ford ½-Ton V8 Pickup Truck, spotted on a frosty morning in a village in the northeast of England, UK. I have passed this truck several times but have not been able to photograph it until now. The truck has mostly original cab + paint patina but was retrofit onto a 1990s Ford Explorer chassis a few years ago by a previous owner. The registration was “97 GGT” but is now “T429 TRH”, matching the Explorer chassis (due to UK licensing legislation). The 1940 Ford light-series trucks used the attractive same front clip as the 1940 Ford passenger cars.
A 1946 Ford ½-Ton “Jailbar Grille” Pickup Truck, customised ‘Street Rod’. Kustom paintwork + alloy wheels. Registration “616 XUW”, rear California plate painted yellow to comply with U.K. legislations. First imported to the U.K. in 2010. Spotted near the town of York.
A rare U.K. market-specified right-hand-drive 1998 Ford Explorer V6 4X4 SUV export model, [UN150], six-character registration “S96 LFL”, 4.0-litre V6 W/ 5-spd “5R55E” auto, painted in what looks to be “Oxford White”. I see this interesting American-built modern classic quite regularly where I live (Ryedale, North Yorkshire), although haven’t gotten the opportunity to snap a picture of it, until today.
Side-profile view of a 1965 Ford Mustang Hardtop ”Notchback” Coupe, [65A]; One of 409,260 produced. Fitted W/ optional 289-CID V8. Although the registration “DSX 135C” and front grille treatment both identify this car as a 1965 model, that distinctive chrome side scallop trim was made for the 1966 model year. Presumably at some point this car would’ve been restored and retrofit with 1966 trim pieces, including aftermarket mag wheels. The paintwork was in immaculate condition and the engine sounded great. Spotted outside the old steam train station in Pickering, Ryedale, North Yorkshire, U.K.
A 1978 Cadillac Seville ‘Elegante’ 4-Door, 5-Passenger Sedan; registration “ERC 728T”, 5.7-Litre, 350-CID V8, painted in a two-tone “Sable Black”/“Platinum Silver Metallic” colour scheme. Spotted in a driveway in Yorkshire, U.K.
