Is the Ford Model A a genuine 1928 car or a replica?

It's a high-quality replica built in 1984 on a Ford Pinto base, designed to authentically replicate a 1928 Model A. It features modern safety upgrades (disc brakes, 2000cc 85 hp engine) while maintaining classic styling and open-air cabrio design.

How many people can fit in the car?

The car seats up to 4 people: three in front and one in the rear. This intimate capacity makes it ideal for small groups, couples, or families with children.

What happens if the weather is bad?

As an open-air cabrio, the tour is weather-dependent. Confirm current conditions with the supplier before your departure time, and consider rescheduling if heavy rain or severe weather is forecast.

What will we see on the tour?

The tour covers Sliven's key historical and cultural landmarks. Sliven is renowned for its textile heritage and revolutionary significance in Bulgarian history. Your driver-guide will provide context as you explore the city from this unique vantage point.

How far is the car driven vs. how much walking is involved?

The tour is 1 hour total. Expect a mix of scenic driving through Sliven and stops for photos and short walks to landmarks. Exact stops depend on your guide's route, so ask for details when booking.

Is the car mechanically safe? Has it been recently serviced?

Yes. The replica is equipped with modern safety features including disc brakes and a reliable 2000cc engine. With only 6,000 km on the odometer at the time of listing, the vehicle is well-maintained; confirm current service status with the supplier.

our guide Yuki had so many stories and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight. Last day of the trip so it wasnt too busy. Blew our hanoi one out of the water, and 6 stops in about 3 hours. Would book again no question.

Not bad but not great, a stop the guide added on the fly we like but came away with 200+ photos only. Maybe can improve, little bit expensive.
