1953 Ford F-1 Custom for Sale in the United Kingdom

This 1953 Ford F-1 Custom is a used car. It is equipped with an automatic transmission. The car is finished in BMW Olive Green Metallic with a Brown interior. It is a 3-seat car and has had one previous owner.

Underneath the period body sits a modern drivetrain: after the truck reached the United Kingdom from the United States in 2018, DC Customs stripped it to bare metal, rebuilt it from the ground up on a custom chassis and fitted a Coyote 5.0 V8 from a Mustang with a six-speed automatic. Air suspension lowers it to the ground, Wilwood brakes stop it on 18 and 20-inch wheels.

The original front and rear wings were repaired, the bed, its sides and the tailgate are new, the floor is oak and the paint is BMW Olive Green. The work turns it into a show truck that can also run a drag strip; the odometer of its new digital gauges says nothing of its past.

The car is located in Tollerton, United Kingdom.

FAQ

This Ford F-1 in the European market

Is this Ford priced above or below the European market?

At £94,975, about €110,797, it sits above the median of €72,021 for the 46 Ford advertised in Europe in 2026. 61% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

Can this Ford be bought in the United Kingdom and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Tollerton, United Kingdom. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

Which other Ford are priced closest to this one?

a car in Germany at €113,800, and a 2020 car in Germany at €99,000. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself.

Who is selling this Ford F-1, and how does a purchase work?

Kaaimans International, a professional dealer in Tollerton, United Kingdom. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Ford F-1 be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Tollerton, United Kingdom, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.

Is this Ford F-1 still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Kaaimans International before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.

What is needed to register this car if it does not stay in the United Kingdom?

A cross-border registration normally requires the vehicle registration document, the certificate of conformity or an equivalent type-approval record, the purchase invoice showing the VAT treatment, and proof that any tax due in the destination country has been settled. Temporary export plates and transport insurance are arranged either by the dealer or by the buyer. Requirements differ by country and should be confirmed with the selling dealer before payment.
