Awesome old car, mate had one when I was a teenager...many years ago. Had old knee action shocks in the rear which we upgraded to conventional, was fantastic until the boot floor cracked where we mounted them thru lol
I seen only 2 1961 Anglia's in the states. Owned 2 cortinas a 65 ands 68 the 68 was the most fun wish I could have bought one of the Anglia's I was too young and broke
My favourite car had a few of these in the 70s, put a 1600 crossflow with twin 40 dcoe carbs ect, in one ,uprated suspension, 10 wide x13 steel wheels, with escort bubble arches, really loved that car, then went over to Mk1/2 Escorts, wish I had them now, instead of all the modern crap
wow love the anglia I had one in the 70's it was my dream at the time to put in a cortina engine and twin webs,new paint etc but unemployment at the time forced me to sell
Smart Anglia, have owned and modified a few, far better with a 1600 though a right hand drive with a crossflow on 40s means relocating the master cylinders. The reverse slope rear window makes far more sense than it first appears.
My family's 1st car was a new 1965 Anglia De Luxe, with the 997cc engine. It sounded nothing like the one in the video ! I particularly remember the transmission whine, in 1st gear, when getting away from traffic lights . . .
@@GrassRootsGarage I envy your climate for preserving the bodywork of cars manufactured in pre-rustproofing days ! Ours was built in Halewood, Liverpool, England ! (No Fords made in UK, now.)
Great clip. However, could I just point out that in Europe (at least) Ford were racing touring cars before the Anglia came along in 1961? Jeff Uren ran a Ford Zephyr as far back as 1958, winning the 'BTCC' championship in 1959 - also in a Zephyr. The Australian climate is great for old cars to survive in.....
One of the greatest automotive designs ever was the fourth generation Anglia. :)
Love da classic Ford's 👍
Thanks for watching mate
The Anglia is a beauty
I put a 1600 X Flow engine in my Anglia Estate. Fun times at the traffic lights. Lots of Vauxhall's and Golfs left eating dust.

A 1200 engine would have had a match between the roof and stripe colours.
