Ford stopped making the Anglia in 1967. The Ford Anglia was produced between 1939 and 1967, with a total of 1,594,486 units built before it was replaced by the new Ford Escort [[7]].
The Anglia received a new lease of life and continued in even more basic form as the 103E Popular until 1959, by which time 108,878 had been built. The Van variant was designated the E494C and was built from 1949 to 1954. In 1965, the Anglia range consisted of the Standard, Deluxe, Super, Van, and Estate, with Martin Walter Ltd producing a Pick Up. The Ford Anglia Torino was still available in Europe .
In November 1967, Ford called a halt to the production of the Anglia vehicle and called time on the Anglia name to make way for its all-new Escort Model. Dealers were keen to move on their stocks of Anglias in favor of the new Escort, and there were numerous Anglias that were registered in 1968, and a few rare ones in 1969.
