    Great pics, Ron. I spent my working life in car development and always liked 100Es so this is right up my alley. I'm fixing up a 55 Anglia. It's very rusty. Mart.

    I used to drive the light blue Anglia around Penang. It was a second hand car we bought just to get around the island and travel around Malaysia. Great little car too. Apart from the mini my mother and I got our licence in, we really cut our teeth learning driving properly. Never let us down. And we had a great Malay mechanic who kept it tuned to perfection each service. Citroen shape. No idea if car registration PF9833 is still driving around Penang. We left Penang in '71, and the car was pretty old then. If it's still going around that would be great.

    I had a 1955 one of these in 1965 but an Anglia - ROJ10 was the rego - cost me 30 quid.

    The only good thing about the 1172cc side-valve, was the fact they were so cheap when it went wrong you just binned it, and put in another one. Gerry, a friend owned a 100E Escort estate car! How many people can remember them?

      yes the engine needed a re-bore at least by 40,000 miles

    1:36 LOL, I know Buddy Holly toured the Austin works in March 1958 but I did not know he also got a job at Ford at Dagenham.

    My Grandfather owned a 1958 Anglia version. I have fond memories of it except it used to overheat a lot.

    From one of your other videos with disabled comments,I noticed and wondered if they came with copper brake lines?

    I'll have the 100E anyday, and I'm not even a Ford man.

    Nostalgic footage, thanks for uploading. Sadly truly awful cars,with their wheezy crude little pre-war sidevalve engines that wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding and needed recon every 30,000 miles

      But they got people mobile after WW2 and that is what Britain needed

      @@ianstollery4922 Perhaps but there were better alternatives. The Morris Minor with OHV engine was vastly superior.

      They were no worse than most other small saloons in the early-late 50s with regard to acceleration and top speed. Most motorists were still pottering about in pre-war cars then. Fuel consumption was not very good given their size and as you say, the engines were not very powerful, but overall they were tough little b*stards...
