1954 Ford Popular 103E, 1172cc. Registration number KSV 197 (non transferrable). Chassis number 646/39629. Engine number C800096.
Sold with the V5C and 3 keys.
Launched in 1953 as a budget addition to the Anglia and Prefect range, it hit the market at the perfect time as second-hand cars were virtually unobtainable. It was powered by Ford’s trusty old side-valve four-cylinder engine, now in 1172cc capacity, which gave it a 61mph top speed with 35mpg economy. For sale alongside the more modern three-box monocoque Prefect/Anglia it won many friends for its unpretentious basic design which, despite a lack of such luxuries as a heater or passenger windscreen wiper, performed sterling service with considerable charm.
KSV has been owned by our vendor since 2012 and presents well, and has been well garaged duly his tenure. Unused for several years it will require some recommissioning although we have driven it around our car park with no problems.
