Hi all I am new here and have been offered the above car as a project by my Father in Law who is moving to a new home and has no where to keep it. It is in a sorry state and needs restoring but i think a few mods might just get included in the rebuild.  Anyone got any info on this car as i am led to believe it was a hybrid between a Ford Pop and an Anglia but have never even heard of it before. Pics and more details to follow when i get round to the in laws again! |

Yup it's a 4-door 100E factory fitted with the Anglia 105E 997cc pre-crossflow engine, gearbox and axle. Has the 100E stud pattern and all the chrome trim and was built between 1959 and 1963.
Easy peasy to fit crossflows to as they are a direct fit and the axle means it can take the added power.
2000E gearbox fits with an easy modification to the gearbox crossmember and a new gearstick hole. You can swap on Anglia 105E hubs at the front and use the disc brake conversion for the stock legs if you use Anglia 105E wheels.
Edit: I had one as my first car
Edit 2: ^^^ And get used to hearing that, it crops up a lot ;D

I thought it would have to be a Prefect to be a 107E?

Prefect 107E is the correct model. But everyone describes them as Populars so you don't have to answer the "Which one's that then..." question followed by "Was it the upright one or the one with the funny back window..." followed by the whole Triumph Herald spiel followed by the bit about flipfronts on Anglias etc etc fade to grey.
I just used to say it's a 100E after a while for simplicity ;D

Thanks for the replies guys. Look forward to doing something different as i have had Renault 5 GT Turbos for 11 years and still own 2 of the rapid little rot boxes.  Any pointers as to where i can find the parts required to do the suggestions above as i know nothing but Reno at the moment. |

... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down  and that's not really the car's fault. |

Ebay as well. Diffs fit out of Mk1/2 Escorts, Mk1/2 Cortinas. You can get the rear hubs redrilled for a normal Ford 4 stud pattern, mine cost about £50 to get done. Milton do some bushed uprated engine mounts which stop very hot crossflows jumping out the engine bay. I had some 7x13" polished slotmags on mine and milled the inside boss down so they were tucked right in under the car. 185/55/13 Yoko's and it looked the dog's family jewels If you need any advice just ask, I have developed an unhealthy knowledge of small 60's Fords. |
