Hi, I'm Mitch, welcome to my Ford
Model T website. I'm from Taree, on
the Mid North Coast of New South
Wales, in the heart of the Manning
Valley.
I've had a passion for vintage and veteran cars ever
since I was a little tacker, and I always had a
dream that, some day, I might have one of my own -
and in 2011, my dream came true!
 I put together
this site to bring together all
that's great about the Ford Model T,
built between 1908 and 1927.
If you own a Ford
Model T, want to own one, know
someone who does, or just love old
cars in general, then this is the
site for you!

came to own a Ford Model T.
