My first car was a Grey 1952 Ford Anglia E494A, it had a sidevale engine pumping out a massive 8hp via a 3 speed gearbox, cable & rod operated brakes, bakelite dash & no heater.
Sold it to some bloke in an XR3i some time in the 80's, looked on the internet on a .gov site a little while back & it was orange & sporting a V8 !!
The Pop was the Anglia's big brother sharing the same body/chassis but with the mighty 10hp engine.
There's a lot of work gone into that car, most people would have been going down the Rover V8 with Jag back axle route back then in the 70's.
