The Ford Anglia's Racing Life ...

Virtually as soon as the Ford Anglia 105E rolled off the production line, Ford slapped a couple of spot lights on the front and sent it rallying. During the early years various people saw the potential of the Ford Anglia and its "new" engine. The engine was developed to produce far more horse power than Ford was getting out of it in standard form and it was not only used in the Ford Anglia for Circuit racing, but also in various single seater formulae, kit cars and production specials.

The table below shows some of the various events that the Ford Anglia has competed in over the years of its production (1959 - 1967), with varying degress of success.
