A 1964 Ford Anglia 1200 Super built to FIA 1175cc homologation specification, with a documented competitive history including rallying with Patrice Wattine and circuit racing in HSCC–Dunlop Thermex championships. The car subsequently underwent a comprehensive bare-metal rebuild costing over £40,000, encompassing full seam-welding, new panels, a DAMICO-built 1,200cc FIA-spec engine producing approximately 130bhp, upgraded brakes, and a rebuilt transmission. It holds valid FIA HTP papers and has seen minimal use since the rebuild.
