Timmis Motor Company

I'm wondering if anyone remembers this reproduction of the 34 Ford Roadster Timmis Motor Company Ltd, (The Factory) in Canada? Is it still around? I remember talking to Mr. Timmis years ago when I was searching down parts (wood)for my restoration. He was a friendly person and fascinating to talk to. Check out the assembly line pictures. My friend had one and at the time I didn't know what I was looking at (reproductions in the 80"s were foreign to me). How time can change one!

I remember his adds. Often wondered how many were produced and who has one now. If anyone out there has one, please tell us about it with pics.

I remember them. They had the same acceptance as a shay model A

Andrew is still around and lives in Victoria B.C. I believe he still has at least one of these, but could be wrong.

The Timmis Motor Company, founded by Andrew Timmis is still around located at 2300 Douglas St, Victoria, BC and his Company includes used-car sales. He currently has the third 34 roadster that he built in 1971 for sale, good looking car.

Unless those are very bad pictures, that is a LOT more acceptable (to me at least) than a Shay Model "A".

Beautiful car. Is it steel?

No, fiberglass. I had expected my scans to come out larger so the copy could be read easily, sorry about that.
