Introduced as an updated version of Ford's
two-door Anglia 100E, the 105E of 1960 featured
updated styling and a new powertrain. Most
striking was the reverse-angled
"Z-line" rear window, so named for its
sharp profile. This design feature was intended
to prevent rear window fogging. Small rear fins,
a front-hinged bonnet, and a revised grille
rounded out the new design. A new four-speed
transmission, a first for British Fords, was
mated to a smaller overhead valve four-cylinder
engine. Output nevertheless increased to 41
horsepower.
Mr. Bernie Ecclestone acquired this particular
1964 Anglia in 1994 from the Patrick Collection
in Birmingham. The only other owner of record is
Mr. Henry Frank Godfrey of Leamington, whose
ownership dates from before 1978, and who may in
fact be the original owner.
As presented, this lovely Anglia remains
unrestored and largely original with
approximately 15,000 miles since new. With the
exception of certain flaws and imperfections, the
paint is of good quality; it appears that the
body was repainted over the years, where and when
necessary, although a complete repaint was never
needed. While the exterior rubbers, as on the
interior, are ageing, the chrome and brightwork
are generally in very good original condition,
with only minor signs of ageing evident.
Excepting minor spots attributable to age, the
dash and trim on the interior are completely
original and in very good condition. The red seat
cushions and upholstery are in as new condition
and fit well, while the original factory rubber
floor matting remains in excellent condition.
The condition of the engine bay and undercarriage
are consistent with a 15,000-mile unrestored car
and generally quite clean overall. The vendor
advises that an inspection revealed that a
braking system rebuild and exhaust system
replacement were needed. Both projects were
conducted with original Ford components.
This unrestored Ford Anglia 105E is a time
capsule survivor. While careful and occasional
driving will not hurt it, the Anglia's
originality makes it an ideal display piece,
where its condition will delight viewers as much
as its appealing design.
