The car was officially marketed as a Ford Eight, and was a rebodied and slightly larger version of the Model Y.

The car was powered by a 933 cc (56.9 cu in) 8 hp (RAC horsepower) Ford sidevalve engine.

The car sported some unusual features such as openable rear windows that were located in the main body work as this was only a two-door vehicle.

The 'kink' and accompanying opening in the bottom of the grille allowed for starting the engine with a hand crank.

[1] It retained the front styling, 8 hp engine and 90-inch wheelbase of the 7Y tourer but featured different rear panels.
