Veteran Car...SPANNING over 100 YEARS.












I live in Tasmania, Australia, WAY WAY “Down Under” BUT right here at the bottom of the World, in our little town Wynyard..is the home to the world’s OLDEST Ford Car in the World. This equal oldest 1903 Model A Ford car has been fully and beautifully restored by Francis Ransley and is on display at the Wonders Of Wynyard Exhibition centre. Yesterday, I went and visited Francis Ransley at his home. I found he had just completed restoring a 1918 Jelbart Tractor.



Today, I am going to post a video featuring Francis & the OLDEST Ford model A car in the world. The restoration of this 106 year old magnificent vehicle is a beauty to behold. The Video is self explanatory and is a very interesting story. Next week, my post will feature Francis Ransley & the newly restored, 91 year old Jelbart Veteran Tractor...including amazing BEFORE and AFTER photos.
