HISTORY
When Ford's design team began work on the Anglia, the key idea was to produce a small, light car - weighing less than 800kg - for the British market with features derived from American luxury models. In stark contrast to the rounded lines of its 1953 namesake, the 100E, the Anglia 105E/106E appeared in 1959 with a very wide grille incorporating indicators (deLuxe version), prominent round headlamps, prominent rear wings - albeit less imposing than on the larger Atlantic saloons - and an inverted rear window. The latter was reminiscent of the design of the Balboa X prototype unveiled by Packard in 1953. Ford used this design for the Mercury D528 (1955) and the Lincoln Continental (1958). Later, the Ford Consul and also, among others, the Citroën Ami 6 with its legendary Z-shape, were based on this concept. The Anglia is equipped with a 997 cc super-square in-line four-cylinder engine with 37.5 bhp at 5,000 rpm, which was used as the basis for sports and competition cars.
The made-in-the-USA styling of the time is even more evident on the Sportsman deLuxe version of the Anglia, which was built in Ford's Antwerp factory for Belgian customers. The spare wheel was mounted on the outside of the rear bumper. The proposed example is in this version. It was seen in the TV show "Des racines et des ailes" on France 3 and took part in the Route Nationale 7 Historique Rally in Brittany in 2016. It was also awarded first prize at the Concours d'Elegance in Charleroi in 2019. Put on the road in 1965, this Anglia is located in Belgium, where the collector's registration certificate is issued in the name of the seller. The seller acquired the car in November 2013 and is the third owner. The odometer shows 53,000 km, which the seller says is reliable and has been driven about 10,000 km. A full record of work carried out since 2013 and the manufacturer's manuals are provided. The vehicle has been parked in a closed garage, has not undergone a technical inspection and is neither pledged nor covered by a warranty.
