The Appeal
What you’re witnessing here is the creation of history. A moment in time, but also a car built for the ages. The ‘Misfit’ hot rod has become famous and widely celebrated on the UK show scene and beyond, for the originality of its ideas as much as the impeccable finish of its construct. Why ‘Misfit’? Because that’s precisely what it is – a car built along the line of thinking that if building custom cars which deviate from the established formula is wrong, then why would you want to be right? For starters, then, it’s been based on the 105E Anglia rather than its more obvious sit-up-and-beg forebears. It’s running a supercharged four-cylinder BMW engine, which is a big no-no to the stuffy purists, as are the split-rim BBS wheels. The Misfit takes cues from traditional hot rod culture, but also elements from the contemporary stance and show scenes, to create a steampunk vision of modern modding.
This approach has proven to be extremely popular. See all the stickers in the windscreen? They’re just the awards it’s won in 2022, and this thing has been on the show scene for a number of years now; indeed, a full feature in Custom Car magazine in 2015 told the Anglia’s story from decrepit saloon to outrageous hot rod. More recently, it won the UK leg of the 2022 Hot Wheels Legends Tour (in which modified cars from around the world compete, with the winner being immortalised as a mass-produced Hot Wheels toy), earning itself a spot in the semi-finals. And the spec is formidable: with an M42 engine from a BMW 320is boosted by an Eaton M45 supercharger, power gets down to the ground via a BMW E30 transmission and a bespoke suspension and braking setup. Built to be a proper driver’s car, this offbeat Anglia really does drive as good as it looks – and it looks very special indeed.

The History and Paperwork
- V5
- 2022 – invoice for £1,130 for custom exhaust manifold
- 2022 – invoice for £456 for new tyres
- Some old MOTs
The Interior
- One-off seats
- One-off rollcage
- One-off everything!
It’s a full custom creation in here, painstakingly built and beautifully finished. The one-off bomber bucket seats (with unique headrests) are lightweight and mounted low, with Willans 4-point harnesses on bespoke mount bars. There’s a custom rollcage behind – in fact, everything is custom, from the doorcards and pedals to the rear-view mirror and the gear shifter with its Ferrari 308 GTS gearknob. The pistol-grip handbrake has a pleasingly light operation, testament to how this car has been engineered to be usable; the screw-top unit on the passenger side dash is actually a cigar lighter, and the cabin features a bank of SoCal dials along with a boost gauge mounted outside on the nose. Every detail is exquisite: the Ford Capri steering column, the orange Perspex sun visor, the vintage polished fire extinguisher that’s been repurposed as a windscreen washer bottle… you can see why this is a multiple show winner. So much thought and care has gone into every individual aspect.
The Exterior
- Full custom bodywork
- Roof chop
- Unique split-windscreen
The familiar elements of the Anglia 105E body now sit atop a custom chassis, and the quality and quantity of fabrication work throughout is mightily impressive. The roof has been chopped, with custom windows cut and a unique split-screen front. A mini-bonnet has been fabricated, housing the radiator and incorporating original 105E design elements including the headlights. The rear end has 1959 Cadillac taillights and a cunning third brake light in the roof, and the boot is extremely clever – pulling the number plate bracket pops open the bootlid, inside which we find the relocated battery, fuel cell, jack and fire extinguisher. The split-rim BBS wheels were sourced from a Ferrari GT race car, and wear new vintage-style tyres with pinstripes.
The bodywork is simply fabulous throughout – imaginatively conceived and intelligently crafted, with a finish that is at once eye-catching, clever, tactile, usable, and built to last.

The Mechanicals
- Supercharged BMW engine
- BMW transmission
- Custom suspension setup with Avo coilovers
Purists, avert your gaze – there’s a lot of BMW in here! The four-cylinder engine from the 320is has been mated to an Eaton M45 supercharger… and trust us, it makes some wonderful noises and is properly quick with real pin-you-in-your-seat acceleration. The BMW E30 theme continues through the drivetrain, the donor providing the gearbox and clutch, servo, differential, half-shafts, hubs and bearing carriers. The car runs Avo coilovers, with a De Dion 4-linked rear axle with Watt’s linkage. Brakes are BMW MINI rear and Ford Sierra front, with a modified Hillman Imp steering rack; the front stubs and kingpins are from a Ford Pop.
It's an ingenious mish-mash of parts that all coalesces into a sublime whole: the engine runs an Emerald K6 ECU, and it’s an eager and reliable thing: it starts easily on the first attempt and, while it needs the odd throttle blip when cold, idles smoothly once warmed up. Performance is vivid, the gearshift is slick, and the car rides surprisingly comfortably on its custom suspension setup. The brakes are strong and the steering precise. This is a car that’s been engineered as much for road trips as for winning show trophies, and it really is enormous fun to drive.

Summary
Well, you’re not going to find another one like this, are you? A unique and beguiling hot rod, this is a car that’s extremely well-known with a keen enthusiast following – a regular sight on the show scene and, yes, a regular winner too. But unlike many show cars that are thrown together for thrills before being dismantled and reinvented, this Anglia has been impeccably engineered to be solid, dependable and usable. We’ve seen this car evolve over the years, its creator painstakingly refining the details and hand-crafting them to perfection, all the while following his own unique and offbeat path. You won’t just be buying a hot rod here – you’ll be buying a piece of history.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
