1968 Ford Anglia

KEY FACTS A charismatic and highly accessible historic race car, this Ford Anglia 105E has been prepared to period competition specification and offers an affordable entry into the world of historic motorsport. While it left the factory as a 997cc model, it is now powered by a naturally aspirated 1.2-litre ‘pre-crossflow’ inline-four driving the rear wheels through a four-speed manual Type E ‘Rocket’ transmission. The car has been under the seller's ownership for the last five years. It has reportedly benefited from a recent extensive mechanical refresh, including a rebuilt engine and gearbox, new carburettors, a new ignition system, a new starter motor, new front brake discs and pads, and a full set of replacement tyres, all with just one race meeting since completion. The seller states that all safety equipment is in date, and that period-spec modifications could be removed relatively easily should a future owner wish to return the car to Appendix K specification. Please note: in order to legally use this car on the road, the DVLA must be notified of the change in engine capacity in order to issue an updated V5C.

It rides on a set of 13-inch painted reportedly genuine Lotus Cortina steel wheels fitted with Yokohama Advan tyres. Equipment now includes lightweight side and rear windows, a heated front windscreen, an English axle limited-slip differential, a Sparco Sprint bucket seat, a Sabelt harness, a full rol
