Anglia (1939 to 1967)

The Ford Anglia (1939–1967) is a quintessential British-designed classic that holds a unique, multi-generational appeal in the 2026 Australian market. While the iconic 105E—famous for its "backward-sloping" rear window—is the most recognisable, market values in Australia vary wildly: standard 105E sedans typically trade between $14,000 and $28,000, while early Australian-bodied A54A or A494A tourers and utilities (built by Martin & King or Ford Geelong) can command between $30,000 and $55,000 AUD due to their local manufacturing provenance. Its desirability is dual-natured: older collectors prize the pre-1959 side-valve models for their "B-series" heritage, while younger enthusiasts and "Potter-heads" seek the 105E for its quirky styling and high potential for Kent or Zetec engine swaps. The buyer pool is a robust mix of historic racers—who use the Anglia’s lightweight shell for "Group Nb" touring car competition—and nostalgic weekenders who appreciate the car's mechanical simplicity. Locally, the most liquid assets are the 105E "Super" variants or any survivor with the rare Australian-only four-door body style, as these are increasingly scarce in a market that has historically favoured the two-door English imports.
