    Hi All,

    My name is Ron and I run The Pop Shop in the UK.

    Ford Anglia, Pop, Thames spares.

    I used to have 2 Pops, one was couped, but had to sell them when I got divorced!!:(

    I may be one of many evictees from another forum........:confused:

    Looking forward to reposting some UK history stuff, mainly Ford Pop/Anglia related, but who knows, others may join in?

    Cheers
    Ron

    Hi Dartona,

    A Pop is an abbreviation for Popular, as in Ford Popular, or better known to you as an Anglia!

    They were also nicknamed, "Jellymould" - "Sit Up 'n Beg" - and "Puddlejumpers"

    Over here Norfolk is the county.

    I seem to remember UK rodder Phil Ritchie moved to Norfolk VA many years ago and set up a Rod/Paint Shop
    Cheers
