The end of the line
In all, 250 models were sold in blue, and 500 in gold, out of a total production run of 1,288,956 Anglias over eight years from 1959 to 1967. It was still possible to buy a new Anglia once the Escort hit the streets as dealers still had stock to clear to make room for the new car.

Was the Ford Anglia sold in America?
Ford has had a long history of bringing its cars from Britain into the States: Anglias, Prefects, Consuls, Zephyrs, Cortinas, and more came across the Atlantic to a depressingly indifferent American audience throughout the 1950s and ’60s.
What is the difference between Ford Anglia 105E and 123E?
Anglias with the 997cc engine (the 105E) are more plentiful than those with the 1.2-litre alternative (the 123E), but there’s no real difference in values between the two. We’d go for the bigger engine as it has more poke, came with an all-synchro gearbox plus it has bigger brakes too.
