Introduction
The Ford Anglia is a small family car that was designed and manufactured by Ford UK. It was produced between 1939 and 1967, with a total of 1,594,486 Anglias being produced. The Anglia was replaced by the Ford Escort. Unique variants of the Anglia were also produced by Ford Australia and the Italian subsidiary of Ford.
Performance and Speed
The Ford Anglia’s top speed varied depending on the model and engine. The Ford Anglia 105E 1200, for example, had a top speed of approximately 80 mph (129 km/h). It’s worth noting that the Anglia was not known for its high performance or speed. It was a small family car designed for practicality and everyday use.
Flying Ford Anglia
In the world of fiction, the Ford Anglia gained fame as the Flying Ford Anglia in the Harry Potter series. In the books and movies, Arthur Weasley enchanted a light blue Ford Anglia 105E Deluxe to fly and become invisible. It was also modified to accommodate ten people, six trunks, two owls, and a rat comfortably.
