They were called Ford Anglia, but were nothing like the other Anglia. Worst motor I lamped in was a Simca Van, not a bad motor in itself, but mine had no 1st gear, and I had to reverse up steep hills !! LOL !! Cheers. Quote Link to post

Looked the business; but what a heap of shite, and you're right about the fuel consumption, but it wasn't so expensive in those days !
