Furthermore, exports from the American factories reached 303,000 in 1925. The heavy losses of horses during the World War made the Model T attractive as a new power source for European farmers.

It was a Model T with a distinct hood and grille to make it appear to be a totally different design, what later was called [[badge engineering]]. The Aeroford sold from £288 in 1920, dropping to £168–214 by 1925. It was available as a two-seater, four-seater, or [[coupé]].<ref>David Culshaw & Peter Horrobin: ''The Complete Catalogue of British Cars 1895–1975''. Veloce Publishing plc.
