This weekend we planned to meet up with my uncle, who also has a Model A, to attend a rally. Sadly the weather was against us, but we'd packed period gear so it seemed a shame not to use it! Credit to the Mrs Carrs (wife and and mother), my uncle and his son, who filmed it...

I've just installed the top saddle brackets with accompanying leather straps on my 1928 Phaeton. I'm fairly sure there's a very clever way of rolling up the straps when they aren't in use - does anyone have any pictures/description on how to do it? I've currently wrapped the straps round the...

Hi All, I'm after a little bit of information if that's OK. I've bought a second drum tail light and bracket for my 1928 Phaeton. It's RHD so the existing light is on the right - the new light will go on the left. My question is... I'm going to have to drill three new holes on the left hand...

Hi all, Thought you might enjoy this short film of my Model A on the London to Brighton run a couple of weeks ago. This is not the famous run (cars have to be pre-1905 for that) but one organised for classic, sports and kit cars. We were the second oldest car on the run - there was only a 1923...

Hi All, Having had my 1928 Phaeton for a year now I thought it might be interesting to look back. My wife is really good at editing film footage, so we've got a number of short films (some of which I've put on here before) that illustrate points of the journey.... Getting the bug again I...

Last weekend Clara (my Model A) and I did the London to Brighton run. This isn't the official one, which is in November and for veteran cars only, but another one organised for vintage, classic, sports and kit cars. It started from the Brooklands museum and finished on the sea front at Brighton...

Hoping the UK Model A people will be able to help me here. My 1928 Phaeton, at some point in its history, has been fitted with an auto-advance distributor. As an Australian car the distributor used was from some form of Holden (no idea what). I've managed to find replacement points that fit, and...

After a month (and one inspection) the UK registration papers for my Australian import Phaeton arrived last week! Here's a short film celebrating our first run on UK roads - enjoy! https://vimeo.com/192201032

As the time draws close to my 1928 Phaeton hopefully being registered and road legal my thoughts are turning to some safety kit. I think a fire extinguisher is a must, and I'd like to have it fixed down within easy reach. Where do you guys have yours mounted? Pictures would be great too if you...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum having just bought my first A - a 1928 Phaeton imported to the UK from Australia. Here she is arriving at our house last week. She's not allowed on the road yet as I have to get her registered with the DVLA and put some UK licence plates on, but I'm using the...
