Ford's Model T displayed in London

The Ford Model T was the car that put the world on wheels and it has reached its 100th birthday.

To mark the occasion, Ford has provided a 1910 example to display in a glass tank outside of the Design Museum in London.

Famous for originally being available in any colour "so long as it's black", the Model T was the first car to be built using modern mass production methods.

Nicknamed the Tin Lizzie, the Ford was launched in 1908 and more than 15 million Model Ts were made by the time production came to an end in 1927.

The Model T was the first car built by Ford in the UK and the Design Museum exhibit marks the car's huge contribution to modernising the motor industry.

Sealed in the glass box until 20 April, the green Model T is from Ford's own collection and is free for anyone to see outside of the Design Museum's riverside entrance.
