Afternoon all,

Many Ford Pops were re-bodied in the 1950s and 1960s, some more successfully than others. This auction is for a c1959 Shirley 1172 four-seat roadster, to my eyes one of the better-looking cars of its type. It doesn't seem unduly expensive to me, and has the look of something quite raffish if you squint a little - from the rear and side at any rate.

from today's Hemmings:

Would you call this a re-bodied Ford Anglia? !
