According to the Henry Ford Museum website the Ford Model S was a composite of the Models N and R. The Model R had used the engine and chassis of the hot-selling Model N, but added running boards, a wider body, and larger wheels. When Ford ran out of Model R bodies and wheels the company put the new running boards on the Model N and called it the Model S which was the last Ford made before the Model T.

 The Model S was quite a bit lighter than most  Model Ts and when the car’s present owner was on rallies he used to enjoy going past Ts which could not keep up with him!

 This car, which is in really very nice usable condition with lovely bodywork and a splendid set of lights, is a very rare machine as only 5,764 examples of the Model S were built and barely a handful exist today.
