Classified Advertisements

The FSOC's Advertising Policy

Although anyone can send us an advert to be published in both the Club magazine or on this website, in this, the general classified advertisement area of the site, we only publish Ford side-valve powered vehicles for sale; other items: spares, books, manuals and "wants" are published in the Members-only area. The idea behind this policy is to provide further incentive to join the Club - we're keen that potential members can find a car to buy easily enough, but for anything else we'd rather you joined our happy band!

Place an advert

To get an advert published in the magazine and on this site, please fill out the On-line Advertising Form. Then use your "Back" button to return here.

Important advice to remember when responding to adverts

Please make sure you are entirely satisfied that the item you are buying is as described by the vendor - ask lots of questions and, if possible, make sure you inspect the item fully in person before parting with your hard-earned cash. Where necessary (in the case of an engine or gearbox for example) ask to remove the head, sump or other appropriate cover to confirm the part's condition. Unfortunately, the Ford Sidevalve Owners' Club cannot take any responsibility for items purchased from private inviduals through this website.

The club would also like to point out that the DVLA may refuse to register a vehicle which does not have a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and/or engine number, and may ask the Police to inspect them. Buyers are also reminded that attempting to register a vehicle using registration details which do not relate to it will also be problematic.

Cars for Sale and Items Wanted

The adverts are presented with the most recent at the top of each group; the date of insertion appears in the body of the advert and, unless you tell us otherwise, the adverts will be removed after a couple of months or so.

Here's a list of all the classifieds adverts you'll find here; please click on area you'd like to focus on, or simply scan down the page to browse through them all:

Wanted: Ford Popular headlights
I am restoring a 1941 Scammell Pioneer Military vehicle, and I'm looking for a pair (complete if possible) of headlights. The original Scammell headlights are almost identical to the type fitted to early (1940's or later) Ford Popular vehicles. I believe the headlights were made by Butlers (usually for Commercial vehicles). The overall diameter of the light is 5.875", about 4" deep semi-conical shape, black body, with the front rim also in black. If you have a pair of headlights or lenses/reflectors to sell, please me, John Hulme. (Non-member)
