1967 FORD ANGLIA 1200 SUPER

KEY FACTS

• A well-maintained, lightly modified example of the range-topping 1200 Super variant of the Ford Anglia.
• Up front sits a 1.2-litre inline-four engine, which sends power to the rear wheels through a synchromesh four-speed manual transmission.
• This example benefits from recent overhauls of the fuel system and brakes.
• The car has had just four recorded keepers over 54 years.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• This Anglia 1200 Super features desirable Venetian Gold paintwork; one of only 500 cars ever produced by Ford in this colour.
• The car features various subtle upgrades, including a stainless steel exhaust system, an aluminium petrol tank, new rear springs, a new brake servo and the addition of air horns.
• The car is fitted with wheels and tyres which are slightly larger than standard.
• The vendor also notes that the car’s engine has been rebuilt.
• The car comes with the original handbook, a selection of Anglia books including a manual, a vast selection of invoices and a generous selection of spares including the original wheels.

CONDITION

• There is no known bodywork damage.
• The Venetian Gold paintwork is generally in very good condition, showing only light wear such as stone chips and small markings expected from a car of its age. The nearside front area has some slight bubbling in the finish.
• The vendor describes the bodywork and chassis of the car as being very solid.
• Its interior presents very well for a car of its age. Believed to be largely original apart from recently replaced carpets, the only real wear present is some light discolouration on the car’s roof lining.
• The vendor reports that the fuel gauge is inoperative.
• The most recent MOT test was on 21 July 2021 at 85,458 miles. The car initially failed on the headlamp aim and the rear brake binding. Both of these issues were rectified immediately, and the car passed with only one advisory for a small oil leak.

SERVICE HISTORY

• The most recent work performed on the car was a full service of the car’s fuel system and the MOT in July 2021.
• Previous to this, in October 2020, the car received a full brake service, new front brake cylinders and a new brake servo.
• The car also comes with a raft of invoices, as shown in the pictures.

SUMMARY

A highly useable example of an ‘everyman’ classic, this Ford Anglia 1200 Super is well equipped and benefits from some desirable upgrades. Presented in solid condition, the car can be used immediately by its next owner, and gradually enhanced if they so wish. This characterful 1960s compact saloon would no doubt be a fun companion on sprightly weekend drives, and could make an ideal first step into classic car ownership.
