Modified Ford Anglia 105E in the 1960s
Alan, whose collectable toys feature elsewhere on this site, also sent this great photo of an Anglia he owned in his youth..
Back to Car Photographs Page 3.
About this Anglia he says.. "One of my many cars from when I was younger, a bog standard 105E with 5 1/2J steel wheels, chromed anti tramp bars, and the exhaust coming out under the driver's door. It was painted in metallic blue, with a matt black bonnet and vinyl roof."
Thanks for sending that wonderful photograph in, somehow the colours in these older photographs really set off images of older cars in their heyday. Eagle-eyed viewers will have already spotted a smart AEC lorry parked behind the 105E Angle-box too, I wonder what happened to that? The wide steel wheels on the 105E look like those found on the Lotus Cortina, a popular 'mod' back in the 60s and 70s. Whereas young drivers now shell out thousands on 'uprating' Saxos and other tinny euroboxes, 30+ years ago it was Minis, Anglias and Imps that were popular with the tuning element!
For anyone interested in racing or tuning Anglias, this old 105E Anglia photo, from an African rally, might be of interest!
