SEE | A vintage Ford Model T collection keeps the legacy alive in the Western Cape Winelands

The ModeT has maintained a deep-rooted connection with South African motorists and there are plenty of reasons behind this.

Regarded as the vehicle that brought mobility to the working class, leading civilisation from horse and cart towards the internal combustion revolution, the Model T was a watershed point for innovation and mass production.   

The Model T was responsible for Ford's meteoric rise, following its 1908 launch and by the end of the 1920s, Ford Motor Company was churning out an astonishing 9 000 vehicles a day at its plant in Detroit, United States.
