OVERVIEW:
This 1948 Anglia is a true survivor. Although it had one respray of its original Honey Beige color about 40 years ago. along with freshened interior. it has been maintained in original condition and retains its original drivetrain. which has been rebuilt. The car has passed safety inspection with Alberta Motor Vehicles. and is a roadworthy. honest. and unmolested car which has never been abused.

This was the first year for export to the North American market. with approximately 1. 90 units exported. The cars history and ownership is known right back to day one.
It was built by Ford of England in Dagenham Essex. and was sold new by Art Bull Motors in Medicine Hat. Alberta. Canada. It has been in the dry climate of western Canada its whole life. and was parked from 1976-97. For the last 20 years it has been in the care of its third owner. who purchased it with 37. 39 miles on the odometer. Today is shows only 39. 54 original miles.

This drivable car has been well maintained. is complete and very solid. It is also quite evident that this car did not spend much time exposed to the elements. and has lived most if not all of its life under cover.

This model E03AF/A carries serial # C367951. and the original firewall tag indicates it has its number matching engine.
It is powered by a 1. 17 litre 4 cylinder engine mated to a 3-speed manual transmission. It cruises comfortably at 50 mph.
Overall length is 12'8”. and it weighs in at 1. 00 lbs.

Current presentation is very clean and tidy.
It is absolutely solid throughout with no rust issues whatsoever.
This car is basically ready to be enjoyed as the survivor that it is. It is the epitome of cute and draws admirers where ever it goes.

This listing provides many more details as you scroll thru. Near the end of this listing under Payment Terms you will find a link to a photo album of 130 pics.

DRIVETRAIN:
The original 1. 17 liter 4 cylinder engine is rated at 30 hp. It starts easily. runs smooth. and does not smoke. It is without modifications.
Professional engine work performed in 2000 by an Anglia specialist included a ring and valve job. new bearings and timing chain. It has been driven about 1. 00 miles since.

The engine compartment and components all appear as correct and original. and in good serviceable condition.
Other work included rebuilding of the carb. fuel pump. starter and generator. New coil. voltage regulator and some new wiring installed. Ring gear was replaced. all belts and hoses in good condition.
The radiator was re-cored and does not leak.

The 3 speed transmission shifts as it should and it received a new clutch disc. pilot and release bearings. There is no clutch chatter or slippage. but occasionally it will jump out of 2nd gear under hard acceleration. Can be avoided by simply keeping your hand on the shifter.
The rear axle received new seals.

There are no unusual sounds coming from the engine. transmission. or rear end while driving.
No leaks detected on the underside.

CHASSIS:
The solid and rust free frame and chassis components all appear in very good condition and as original without damage.
It has original transverse leaf spring suspension. and knee action shocks in good condition apart from a minor weep on the right side.

Mechanical brakes at all 4 wheels in good operating condition. as is the hand brake.
The exhaust system and muffler appear in good condition.
The fuel tank was steam flushed and repaired.
Numerous new rubber dust seals. grommets. bumpers. boots and sleeves were installed throughout the chassis.

They are mounted on original artillery spoke wheels. sporting original hubcaps. all of which are in very nice condition.

BODY & PAINT:

New fender welting was installed.

This very solid car had one repaint in its life. done in 1976 as a high school body shop class project. Done in acrylic enamel it shows the minor over spray. blemishes and flaws one would expect. but retains its integrity and a decent shine. The car looks good at curbside.
Given its years since. it does show very few minor pings and scratches. none serious.

The wood floor pans are very good. and there is no rot or rust out in the trunk area which was not repainted and remains totally original.
The trunk lid has 3 mounting holes for a second brake light which are plugged off.

The speedometer. odometer. amp and petrol gauge all work. An after-market oil pressure gauge has been added below the left dash.
Original vacuum wipers and horn are in working order.
This car was not ordered with the only available option. a heater. This further supports that the car did not see any winters.

The interior was re-upholstered in 1976 as well. It remains true to original with vinyl in excellent condition. no wear. tears. rips. or split seams.
Sun visors were recovered. and it also received a new headliner. which does show a water stain from a onetime leak.
Ford floor mats and new pedal pads up front. with new carpeting.

This car has one of the nicest dash boards you'll ever see. It is bakelite. and in truly outstanding condition with a beautiful burled pattern and art-deco styling. You'd be very hard pressed to ever find a nicer one. it's a treat to look at.
