Bob, If it wouldnt be too much trouble, a few pictures of the linkage & mechanism for the 2 lever set up would be great.

Very interesting. I saw one, in Orange County Ca. many years ago, but unfortunately, I didn't look at the pedals and later found out it was a two pedal after we had left that location. :oops:

Thanks so much Bob for sharing this amazing piece of history. Great to see it gets driven! I am fortunate to have a 2 lever T nearby me in very similar original condition to the one in your post. It is a pleasure to study it as all the parts are so different event to the production 09 parts. They truly were an evolving almost prototype. The owner is very fortunate to have such an early piece of Ford history.

Thank you for that, Bob. Someone did a lot of work polishing up all that brass. Nice to see the car being driven.

Glad you all enjoyed, I will ask Aaron about the number, sorry no pictures of linkage, he only takes this out very few times a year, if you look in the Restoration handbook this car is in there with Less Henry standing by it, Bob

Very nice car!
It looks to me, that could be a slightly later 1909 body.
The very earliest bodies have some differences I don't see in this body.

Tony - a T arrived in Sydney in early 1909 and given the arrival date and likely shipping time, there's a good chance it was a 2 lever car. As for what became of it - I wish I knew!
