Ford Anglia Classic Cars

An Essential Guide to Choosing a Ford Anglia for Sale

In 1939, Ford Motor Company debuted the Anglia. It became the forerunner of the Fiesta. Produced until 1967, many of its releases remain on the road today, and you can find a number of used Ford Anglia for sale on eBay.

The decision to purchase an older model vehicle involves many aspects, including:

• Antiquity status for insurance
• Parts availability
• Vehicle condition
• Intended use
• Area of manufacture

The Ford Anglia qualifies as both a classic car and a vintage car. While any vehicle 10 years old or older typically qualifies as a classic, a vintage qualification usually requires an age of at least 25 years. An antique would be 100 years old. This affects your automotive insurance costs and type. Classic car insurance has annual mileage limits but costs less than regular insurance. Regular automotive insurance on a vintage vehicle also becomes very costly.

Some manufacturers stop making parts for older cars. Ford continues to make parts that you can use on an Anglia, plus you have many aftermarket providers from which to choose.

Consider the vehicle’s current condition. This includes whether it runs, its body condition, paint job, parts condition, and whether the parts are original or aftermarket. If you want to purchase a fixer-upper to challenge your own mechanical skills, then you will have more vehicles to consider than if you want to purchase an already restored Anglia with all original parts. Vehicle condition will most greatly influence the Ford Anglia price.

Consider whether you want to drive your Anglia on a daily basis, weekends only, on only special occasions such as car shows and parades, or to park in a garage or showroom for appreciation purposes.

Ford manufactured new Anglias only in England and Australia. The company built different models of the car at each facility. The three areas of manufacture were Dagenham, England, Halewood, England, and Heidelburg, Victoria, Australia.
