1964 Ford Anglia – Historic Motorsport Example with Elite Driver History and Goodwood Eligibility
The Ford Anglia is a small family car produced by Ford UK between 1939 and 1967, remembered today for its distinctive design, spirited character, and thriving legacy in British motorsport. This particular example, first registered on 10 December 1964, is finished in its classic white. With only three previous owners and under the stewardship of its current keeper since 2002, it has been preserved, developed and proudly campaigned within historic motorsport circles.
In December 2011, the car underwent a comprehensive rebuild by Joe Allenby-Byrne of Throbnozzle Engineering, a recognised authority on pre-crossflow Ford engines. The result is a reliable and competition-ready car that remains fully compliant with period regulations. Supporting its competition credentials, the Anglia carries a Motorsport UK Passport valid until 2031 for Sprint and Hill Climb disciplines under Modified Production and Category 1 Stage Rally classifications. An easily fitted silencer accompanies the car, allowing for straightforward transition between track-day and road use.
This Anglia enjoys an enviable Goodwood pedigree. It has been driven around the celebrated Goodwood Motor Circuit on seven occasions for the Goodwood Revival, and it qualifies for this year’s St Mary’s Trophy at the Goodwood Revival—making it an immediate and highly attractive entry for one of the most sought-after historic saloon car races in the world. Furthermore, the car has been driven by several respected and well-known figures, including Peter Barker, Desiré Wilson, and Tiff Needell, placing it firmly among the most storied Anglias in active historic competition.
Its mechanical specification, prepared by Throbnozzle Engineering, delivers the ideal blend of authenticity, reliability and competitive performance. Combined with its significant event history and exceptional driver associations, this 1964 Ford Anglia stands as an outstanding opportunity for anyone seeking a proven, eligible and expertly prepared entrant for the highest tiers of historic motorsport. Whether destined for further competition, Goodwood participation or stewardship within a distinguished collection, it represents a rare chance to acquire a truly notable example of the iconic 105E.
