1968 Ford Anglia Super 1200
A competition-prepared 1968 Ford Anglia Super, built to Appendix K regulations with a 1,200cc pre-crossflow engine, four-speed Rocket gearbox, English rear axle with LSD, and front disc brakes. Believed to have been used in motorsport for the majority of its life, the car has been campaigned in historic circuit racing including the Historic Masters series and the Spa 6 Hours. A recommissioning in 2014 brought it to CTCRC and HRDC TC63 eligibility; subsequent ownership saw a thorough mechanical rebuild covering the engine, gearbox, brakes, and ancillaries.
