rhd 40 ford coupe info

At last got myself a 40 standard coupe.As far as i gather it was built in canada for south africa,it was shipped in from s africa and registered in united kingdom in 1991,it was used for 2 yrs and laid up in a barn for 17 yrs now its back on the road.My question is how many rhd coupes did they produce in 1940 cheers fred

 

some manufacturers sent out cars in kit form Fred. Known as CKD cars, complete knock down. Basically a rolling ch***is and anyone could put a coupe, sedan or a truck body on. Car companies were getting hit with big taxes for import/export so they got round them as kits. Has it got a ch***is number or anything on the bulkhead? A small plaque anywhere?

 

Can't answer your question, but I'd love to see some pics of it.

Mart.

 

Pics please!

 

will try and get some pics on when i can,cheers fred

 

hey mart its the red coupe for in the for sale adds on nsra site

 

Just saw the pictures and looks really cool!! Fred.

 

We got quite a few 39 coupes (more Deluxes than Standards)here in NZ but hardly any 40s (Deluxe or Standard.) Probably due to the war. Of course I stand to be corrected as I wasn't even a *****le in my Dad's eye at that point...
