Timmis Motor Company
I'm wondering if anyone remembers this reproduction of the 34 Ford Roadster Timmis Motor Company Ltd, (The Factory) in Canada? Is it still around? I remember talking to Mr. Timmis years ago when I was searching down parts (wood)for my restoration. He was a friendly person and fascinating to talk to. Check out the assembly line pictures. My friend had one and at the time I didn't know what I was looking at (reproductions in the 80"s were foreign to me). How time can change one!

Re: Timmis Motor Company
I remember his adds. Often wondered how many were produced and who has one now. If anyone out there has one, please tell us about it with pics.

Re: Timmis Motor Company
Andrew is still around and lives in Victoria B.C. I believe he still has at least one of these, but could be wrong.

Re: Timmis Motor Company
The Timmis Motor Company, founded by Andrew Timmis is still around located at 2300 Douglas St, Victoria, BC and his Company includes used-car sales. He currently has the third 34 roadster that he built in 1971 for sale, good looking car.

Re: Timmis Motor Company
No, fiberglass. I had expected my scans to come out larger so the copy could be read easily, sorry about that.
