Hello Dear Model T fans and experts ,---Can anybody help me?---

Someone offerd me a 1917 Model T . The car looks like new, it has been totally restored. The motor number is 2.144.742---
The seller told me it is a very rare 1917 T Doctor.---
The Car has two seats and for me and my minor knowledge it looks like a Model T runabout.---here is the only pic I have---http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3081/2737815903_88d2ec565f_o.jpg -----Is this really a very rare car and how much is it worth ?
thanks for your answers

That is a nice roadster, not too rare of a model T. If it runs well it is worth 7-10 grand

Like he said, nice "T", but not, at all, rare. A lot of people, that know little about "T"s, seem to attach "Doctor" to it to make it sound rare or, somehow, exotic. It is a crock. While Ford did advertise it's coupes as being an ideal car for doctors, they never named any of their cars "Doctor's" anything. If the price is right, buy it. They are a ton 'o fun.

Not sure what country you are in, but, in the USA we put the steering wheels on the left side. Otherwise fairly common car.

and the picture itself:



Maybe it is the camera angle, but the trunk/rear deck area on the above car appears to be much larger than the "normal" ones seen here in the US:

The reason the trunk looks bigger than normal for 1917 is that the picture seems to be of a 23-25 car...
