here it is, My new ride! (for a while) high boy Anglia

Just bought this yesterday. 1946 English Anglia. Right hand drive. This was a pretty famous car back in 1992. The guy who had it let it go to sh%t. I drove it some today. Ultra hot 2000 cc 4cyl, 4spd. Needs some TLC, fresh paint, major tuneup, and minor brake work. etc.

Thats cool,I have never seen that car before.I had a 48 Thames 1/4ton panel van once...never got it going

 

Great car! Don't change it much when you restore it.

 

Hey Rusty, found the feature on that car, it`s in Rodders Digest #49 Oct.92. Thats the copy that has the 92 nationals flood coverage.
Ask ol "just Steve" maybe he can tell you more about the car.
Oh, and NO you cant have it,RD`s are like gold!!

 

Say`s it belonged to Stewart Woolard of Essex England...is he a HAMBer?
I remember this car getting tons of coverage in 92 because he drove accross America to B'ville the nats, everywhere.
Lets see some close-ups of the sponsers on back.

 

Trailer Eds used car emporium!....the boss is outa town- it all has to go!we mus be krazy to take thios price!he he! Kinda cool tho- [please put the trunk back on it man]....... Or ya could make it like a 37 ford flatback [with more slope] to that rear panel.....

 

Wow, that thing is sweet lookin! You'll ne the only one around with one, thats for sure.

 

Hey, found another bonus,Sorchik put the car in the cartoon on the last page too! Got any doors to trade for this rag?

 

Stewart has been with Fairlane Co in michigan for quite awhile....he was at the midland swap meet last month with a bunch of old car junk for sale....fab32 filled his pickup for his own personal "Thousand Cars and Parts Pileup"....Fabs motto...."If I don't have one...I certainly NEED one!!!"

 

Sweet car, my dream Anglia set up. I've seen her before, it's a cool car.

 

Did you buy near Altamont Il. from Andray(or somthing like that)? Anyway he is a barber in tha area.
Pretty sure he owned that car a couple years ago. He had pictures at a swap meet, thought it was neat.

 

I can't believe you sold that Sedan, and bought that thing. It looks like a damned Bug. At least it's not quite as ugly as that thing we went to Minnesota to pick up...

Just kidding...it definitely doesn't look like any of the other Anglia's around here.

 

Yeah Crestliner, thats where it came from.

 

Well Good Evening T. Ed.
This is really a beautiful car, you know that.
Of course you know it.
You know what I'd like to give you for this car?
I would like to give you one thousand dollars!!
I can't give you that, but I'm not going to give
you a whole line......................
Nice dealin Rusty. I do remember the car now.
I have that same mag with the Sorchik toon that
Tony was talkin about somewhere. I'm going to go see
if I can dig it up.
Hey Sorry I didn't make it over today,The kids came by.
Let me know if your around tomorrow.

I'd at least like to see, and maybe make copys of those articles, just for some info if nothing else. And I biught this car for a song BFTWCS ! I sold the 32 to pay off bills, and bought this with my left over $'s.

 

Any shot's of the front end? Does it have a dropped axle setup or something else?

Cool little getup eitherway.

Since Hatch has been slack of late, the following is what I'd love to do to a Anglia......make a couple....imagine the rake of a highboy 34 3 window, just ad cold water

Cheers,

Drewfus

 

It has a drilled stock front axel that was moved forward about 4". seems to drive and handle well for what it is, but it still has stock Anglia brakes, that part could use to be better, but I'm not sure what to do? The coupe thing looks kind of cool as well. I think I'm going to paint mine hot pink, put the fenders back on, put in a ramjet 350, mustang II, sculptured leather interior, and maybe un-chop it 3" or so. Or maybe just leave it alone with some freshining up? Hum, decisions, decisions.

 

Say`s he extended the wheelbase 10 inches and thats a small English Ford rearend.

 

You seem to know more about the damn thing than me!!!! I'll stop by tomorrow after work 3:30 or so. I want to seethe magazine, and see what we need to do get get you some doors!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mike little came by and checked it out tonight, he sat in it, and pretty much filled it up.

 

Sorry about the slackin!!!!...(didya checkthe 52/54 chev post?)...here's the "easy" photoshop Anglia version

 

I bet! That cars not built for us BIG boys!
I bet I have other rags with that car in it...hell, I know I do but it would take alot of looking because theres no ryhme or reason to my stacks of rags!...sounded kinda like a DJ huh?

 

Dont let it happen again Hatch....your gettin lazy!

 

....I love(gross understatement!!) the yellow one...it's from GAY Michigan...and Stewarts car should be left alone....it's cool "as is"...wouldn't want to disturb the restorers on this board

 

I have dug that Anglia since I first saw it years ago!!! Did not know it was still in the states

 

OK...howabout lower it and also flatten the ass end???
