W.H.Tildesley was involved with many automotive brands, including the world-famous Ford Motor Company.  Many early Ford models, some now considered the holy grail in the heritage automotive scene, all used drop-forged components manufactured by WHT.

When analysing our drawing archive we discovered original forging drawings with Ford part numbers linked to the Ford Model AA, a truck designed by Henry Ford around 1926.

Forged Components Produced For The Ford Model AA

With the production of components starting in 1931, this ties in with the launch of the UK-based Dagenham Plant where the Model AA was the first vehicle to roll off the production line.
