Ford Anglia 105E Sportsman

The Ford Anglia 105E Sportsman was to all intents and purposes a normal Anglia, except that
the spare wheel was mounted on the outside of the boot, to give a little extra boot space. One of
the European Ford brouchures has the following photo of a Sportsman.

There was also a simple Sportsman Brochure produced showing the virtues of buying an
Anglia with an exterior spare wheel.

The popularity of the Sportsman can still be seen today, with quite a few surviving European
Anglia's still sporting their spare wheels on the outside.

For the Anglia owners in the UK there was a couple of "Continental Conversion" kits available.
One such kit was from "Components and Accessories Ltd"....

... with another one from "Charleson Sportsline"....

... and another one from "David Buxton Limited" who also tuned the engine.

It would be interesting to know how many of these kits were sold, and if any still survive.
Please feel free to email me, if you have any photo's or other information about these conversions.
