A very rare Ford Model T Accessory - The Roper Gasoline Saver.

Manufacturer: C.F. Roper and Co.

This was purchased for a 1911 Ford Model T Touring project that has since changed and is no longer needed. I understand that this accessory will fit many (if not all) years of Ford Model T vehicles.

The accessory is in pristine condition, but I believe this has been rebuilt and is not NOS. The part has never been installed on a car since it was rebuilt.

This is one of MANY accessories that were made during the production run of the Ford Model T. I would also say that this is one of the MANY useless accessories because this is really nothing more than a somewhat controlled air leak!

The ball and spring are intact and the desired amount(?) of vacuum leak is controlled by adjusting the brass tube and setting the lock nut. The spring and parts of the service plunger is intact and will shut off the vacuum leak when pressed in.

Also included are a pair of gaskets and a pair of Brass Bolts.

Not exactly sure when it was made, but the design implies early in Model T production and the inventor had passed in 1916.

What you see in the photos is what you will receive!

Shipping is $12.95 in the Lower 48 US States via Economy Shipping Service. Hi/AK/PR/APO AP may be higher. I will refund any savings in actual shipping charges.

I ship worldwide using the "Global Shipping Program" and costs are determined by them.

Aston Martin ditches Cygnet city car

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

CITY SLICKERS will no longer be able to cut a dash in a diminutive Aston Martin, following the company's decision to axe the controversial Cygnet from its range. The tiny Cygnet, which takes its name from a young swan, was an adaptation of the Toyota iQ, refitted with the finest luxury materials and priced at over £30,000. Its low CO2 output is rumoured to have been the main reason for the model’s presence in the range, since Aston Martin could in that way lower the company’s average CO2 output across the range in line with European emissions rules.
