On this page we look at some of the early race history of the Ford Anglia 105E.
In particular the many Rally's and Races that the Ford Anglia competed in during its early life.

Typical Racing Saloon

It's Racing Life ...

Virtually as soon as the Ford Anglia 105E rolled off the production line, Ford slapped a couple of spot lights on the front and sent it rallying. During the early years various people saw the potential of the Ford Anglia and its "new" engine. The engine was developed to produce far more horse power than Ford was getting out of it in standard form and it was not only used in the Ford Anglia for Circuit racing, but also in various single seater formulae, kit cars and production specials.

As proof of the Ford Anglia's enduring reliability and race pace, the car is still being used to great affect in today's competitive racing environments, some fifty plus years after its release.

Some of the Ford Anglia's greatest successes are listed in the table below.

1959 - RAC International Rally of Great Britain
1960 - East African Safari

1960 - RAC Rally of Great Britain
