Time to get an angle on an Anglia?
The humble family car, once the entry level to a classic car world obsessed with sexy sports and performance machinery, is now competing for the wallets of nostalgic buyers.
Take the Ford Anglia, with its wacky reversed rear windscreen and perky tailfins. Up until 2007 these cars were stuck below a £3k ceiling, but as the Market Tracker graph in the latest issue of Classic Cars reveals, prices have been ramping up quite sharply since, outstripping the once-preferred Morris Minor two-door models. Relative scarcity and the challenge of finding restoration parts has driven demand for sorted examples, unlike the appearance in a Harry Potter movie.
Buying advice and market analysis is part of 16 pages of buying information in every issue of Classic Cars magazine, including Quentin Willson’s Smart Buys, Russ Smith’s Market Watch, in-depth buying guides and Ads on Test.
