In 2012 The Model T Wolrd Tour started and moved from Europe down to Capetown. The tour continued in Houston and they did something close to 16000 miles in the US within a few months. Yes, all that on their own 1915 Model T wheels. After that they did the full tour of South America and after that they experienced a horrible set back when the car was crushed while being transported on a trailer through Belgium. But skinny Dirk Regter is a real Bazooka Joe kid, so 'tough enough to chew the hard stuff'. His planning is to present the totally rebuilt Model T at the 2016 Concours Het Loo, at the Royal Palace in Apeldoorn. From there it will be New Zealand, Australia, south-east Asia, China, Mongolia... Pictured above Dirk having fun with a local TV hero that he once met in California. Sorry, forgot his name. Better ask Dirk Regter.
EARLIER TEXT:
Dirk Regter's Model T is getting him in places. While touring in California Jay Leno hopped on board and had Dirk explain him about the alterations he made to make the Model T a highly reliable world travelling machine. They had a big time when Jay gave the Model T Worldtour team a private tour in his well occupied Garage. He owns about anything you can imagine on wheels, yet not everything. A slightly painful moment came up when Jay became really-really excited and made Dirk an offer on his high end Model T. Well a man can't own everything... And so the Model T World Tour is travelling on, The Nethercutt Collection and Mullin Automotive Museum and very special PWC friend Roger Bowers as next appointments.
