The Ford Barn - View Single Post - What roadside repairs have you made to keep your A going

On tour on a nice sunny day. I was behind another A stoped at a red light, and all of a sudden the A in front of me let out a LOUD BANG car shook and dust arose around the car from the street then stalled. Of course it was a very busy intersection. We pushed him to the curb. We started on the inspection and found the transmission wasn’t engaging into gear. Removed the floor boards then the inspection cover and found 2 clutch springs let go. We couldn’t do anything on the side of the road for him. A tow truck was called and that’s was the first and only A that we had to tow home.
