| The 100E was Ford's first
small monocoque vehicle, and although the engine capacity
was the same as earlier sidevalve models it was actually
an entirely new design. The car was introduced at the
1953 Motor Show under the names Anglia (two door) and
Prefect (four door). The Anglia was slightly lighter than
the Prefect, and hence, according to whose road tests one
believes, it was fractionally faster. More Anglias were
built than any other 100E model, and the same basic car
continued in production until 1962, having been renamed
the 'New Popular' in 1959. The 100E was the best selling
car in Britain in the mid 1950s. Besides the 100E Popular, the FSOC 100E Register also caters for the 100E Squire and Escort estate car variants, as well as the 300E Thames van. Click on the link to obtain the data sheet (PDF) |
