Allow us to introduce you to Henry Ford’s timeless classic: the open-top, two-seat Torpedo. While much of its history remains shrouded in mystery, what we do know is that this car served as a display item at Gold Reef City in the southern part of Johannesburg for many years. It wasn’t until its current owner acquired it and embarked on a restoration journey that its story truly unfolded.
Commencing in November 2019 and culminating in August 2021, the restoration process breathed new life into this vintage gem. The meticulous craftsmanship and knowledge required for such a feat are evident in every detail of the work that has been undertaken.
This Torpedo stands as both a rare collectible and a drivable work of art, seeking your bids to continue its legacy.
