Excellent starting point for a personal project car
Inline-four MkII Ford Cortina engine
The Appeal
Back in the day, everyone dreamt of owning a Ford Anglia Super 123E. This top-of-the-range edition of the well-known people’s car by Ford attracted the masses thanks to its enlarged engine and more elaborate trim level.
Manufactured in 1964, this Anglia Super GT shows few signs of its range-topping past having been modified and stripped out in its previous life. Over the past few years, it has slowly regained an interior, and has the potential to once again impress at local car meets.
Mechanically sound thanks to low mileage and a surprising maintenance history, it certainly provides an excellent starting point for a cosmetic project. Be it a full-on restoration or a more creative goal, this car may be the perfect quick project car to get you through the final days of winter.

Summary
In very useable condition and mechanically sound, this 1964 Ford Anglia Super GT does feature signs of a varied past. Imperfections and patina throughout the paintwork along with a stripped out interior provide a perfect base for a minor cosmetic project before the sunny days of spring arrive. That being said, it is supposedly in great mechanical condition. After getting a fresh MOT, it is therefore ready to be used on a daily basis according to the current owner.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

£0 to £9,999
£100.00

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
