Hey people, I've been trawling about the internet for some hours in search of the best forum for ClassicFords / Anglias and, fingers crossed, I think I've found it - so now I can quiz you all to pieces (in particular neilm and Dalek who seem to be full to overflowing with Anglia knowledge)
I have recently been asked to evaluate an Anglia Deluxe as to its worth as a potential project or alternatively to sell as someone else's project. At present I do not know a great deal about the car except that it has been preserved (I use the term loosely) very carefully by a man who put it in a garage in the 70's and died. It has been kept under a plastic sheet and as far as I can tell is structurally as good as perfect. The body also appears 100% solid, the chrome would require just a modest application of Brasso to restore it fully. Amazingly, the mileage is only 20k miles, and its former owner was quite meticulous, all those years ago. It contains the owners manuals and a half finished box of Fruit Pastilles
So what is a good course of action? Naturally I am not going to try and start it, but would it be a great effort to prep it for an attempt? Were the engines an interference design? (am not too sure which engine it has, but just know it's a Deluxe, chromed up wide mouth)
Alternatively, if it proved to be too much of a project what might be the value of this to another enthusiast? (hmm.. things are going a bit Antiques Roadshow)
I'll leave it there for now, interested to hear what you think. I'm thinking it would take a bit more time than I have to get running, and it would be ripe for a conversion since the body is truly A1, no messing around with rust/filler/welding/panels etc. Anyway, over to you lot!
Cheers,
Neil
