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.

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
