|
When I owned an Anglia in the 1960s the last thing it required was more power. Better roadholding would seem a better priority if my memory serves me well.
Even then I considered my Anglia agricultural, must admit it was reliable, even if the failing battery meant the starting handle was a necessity in the mornings.
I eventually sold it when a Mk1 Consul came along.
I had to change a valve because of poor compression, foolishly I decided it was going to need an exhaust valve, and bought one from the Ford agent.
Upon dismanling it turned out to be the inlet valve. I had discovered the cause of the poor running with the use of my Dubletest compression tester.
High tech as far as I was concerned, sadly I spoilt the diagnosis with my impetuosity.
The Ford agent refused to exchange the valve and I ended up using it as a drift before throwing it away.
In common with many other old cars at the time it would leave a faint oil haze behind it from the exhaust.
Regards Kels. |

Strangely I do not remember anything other than two door Anglias (and Pops.). Prefects yes, but not Anglias.

I'm with you Jim. All Anglias were two door, and Prefects four door. My Dad had both as consectutive company cars in the very early fifties.The Prefect came with promotion. and a year later the super luxury of a new Volkswagen! He was told on collection that the three VWs the company bought were in the first batch of official imports after the war. I think this was in 1953/4, perhaps? |

Thanks for the replys everyone my car has a heap of rust in the car as it was down to the doors in mud/dirt for 3 years with a stack of hay bales on top after the stack fell on the car so i guess he lives to see another day
They did make 2door prefects in 1938 to 1940 model number were E93A 2 doors there rear side windows roll down like a 7W 2door |
