1963 Ford Anglia

The 1963 Ford Anglia is a continuation of the 105E model series, which has been produced since 1959. This model features an American-influenced design, characterized by a sweeping nose line and muted tailfins, while Deluxe versions are identifiable by their full-width slanted chrome grille. The engine options include the initially standard 997 cc overhead valve (OHV) straight-four engine, alongside a 1198 cc version available in the Anglia Super model from September 1962, enhancing power and performance. The vehicle is equipped with a four-speed manual gearbox that boasts synchromesh on the top three gears, with later models featuring an all-synchromesh setup. Notable design features for 1963 include a painted contrasting-colored side stripe on the Anglia Super, along with the MacPherson strut independent front suspension and semielliptic leaf springs at the rear, solidifying the Anglia’s reputation as a stylish and practical compact car of its era.
