Because that\u2019s precisely what it is. Received wisdom will tell you that there are correct ways to build a hot rod, certain things that you ought to do and certain things that you really shouldn\u2019t do, and any deviation thereof is to be met with derision. But that old-school snobbishness is a load of old cobblers, really. This Anglia was conceived to deliberately step outside the parameters of what \u2018should\u2019 be done; to upset apple-carts and have thoughts outside of boxes and all those other clich\u00e9s, at once screwing their very essence into a tight little ball and trebucheting it over the horizon. What\u2019s the opposite of a clich\u00e9? You\u2019re looking at it, really.

The motor is a four-cylinder M42 pinched from an E30 BMW 318is, generously boosted by an Eaton M45 supercharger. Digging deeper, we also find the E30\u2019s gearbox, clutch, servo, differential, half-shafts, hubs and bearing carriers. The car runs Avo coilovers, with a De Dion 4-linked rear axle with Watt\u2019s linkage. The brakes were sourced from a BMW MINI for the rear and a Ford Sierra at the front, with a modified Hillman Imp steering rack; the front stubs and kingpins are from a Ford Pop. It&#8217;s a truly ingenious fusion of disparate parts that all adds up to something wholly unexpected and mightily impressive. The boosted BMW four-pot runs an Emerald K6 ECU, and the performance really is vivid \u2013 enough to pin you back in your seat under hearty acceleration, while making some truly magnificent noises from the sneaky tailpipe that exits through the bodywork ahead of the nearside rear wheel. This is a car that\u2019s been engineered as much for road trips as for winning show trophies, and it really is enormous fun to drive; its creator never intended to be trailering this to shows, and it&#8217;s travelled the length and breadth of the country with endless style and, impressively, endless reliability too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/auctions\/1963-ford-anglia-misfit-hot-rod-4aP97n\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-20485\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gQaKN2SwJ2wI0zvR4wX4NLkcHFMRCIV67rMpA4J5-800x426.jpg\" alt=\"Misfit, ford, ford anglia, anglia, anglia 105e, ford anglia 1053, hot rod, custom car, hot wheels, hot wheels legends tour, custom car, classic ford, retro ford, motorign, automotive, ford anglia for sale, car and classic, carandclassic.com, buy ford anglia, ford anglia values, bespoke car,\" width=\"800\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gQaKN2SwJ2wI0zvR4wX4NLkcHFMRCIV67rMpA4J5-800x426.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gQaKN2SwJ2wI0zvR4wX4NLkcHFMRCIV67rMpA4J5-2000x1066.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gQaKN2SwJ2wI0zvR4wX4NLkcHFMRCIV67rMpA4J5-768x409.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gQaKN2SwJ2wI0zvR4wX4NLkcHFMRCIV67rMpA4J5-1536x819.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gQaKN2SwJ2wI0zvR4wX4NLkcHFMRCIV67rMpA4J5-2048x1092.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gQaKN2SwJ2wI0zvR4wX4NLkcHFMRCIV67rMpA4J5-750x400.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gQaKN2SwJ2wI0zvR4wX4NLkcHFMRCIV67rMpA4J5-765x408.jpg 765w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gQaKN2SwJ2wI0zvR4wX4NLkcHFMRCIV67rMpA4J5-1020x544.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gQaKN2SwJ2wI0zvR4wX4NLkcHFMRCIV67rMpA4J5-1800x959.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re not going to pretend it\u2019s comfortable in the traditional sense. Those unique seats have a bit of leather-trimmed padding, but you\u2019re never going to sink into them like a Bentley lounge chair. And with that aggressive roof chop, there\u2019s not a whole lot of headroom if you\u2019re anywhere over six-foot-one. But what\u2019s crucial is that it isn\u2019t uncomfortable: once you\u2019re cocooned inside you\u2019ll find that everything\u2019s within easy reach, and the clever suspension setup ensures that the ride is actually remarkably pleasant \u2013 not jarring or crashy, it rides like a sports car rather than a compromised pan-scraper. This is, of course, attributable to the fact that a huge amount of thought and effort has been put into every individual detail throughout the car \u2013 and this is particularly evident in the interior. It\u2019s a full custom creation, painstakingly built and beautifully finished; the bomber bucket seats are slender and mounted low, with Willans 4-point harnesses on bespoke mount bars to keep you firmly cuddled in. There\u2019s a custom rollcage behind \u2013 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\u2019s been repurposed as a windscreen washer bottle\u2026 you can see why this is a multiple show winner. So much thought and care has gone into each aspect, it\u2019s properly mind-blowing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/auctions\/1963-ford-anglia-misfit-hot-rod-4aP97n\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-20489\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ZHZKrba0OlnYQYe5Yxcq9h1xe6ksotEr4otXltMY-800x407.jpg\" alt=\"Misfit, ford, ford anglia, anglia, anglia 105e, ford anglia 1053, hot rod, custom car, hot wheels, hot wheels legends tour, custom car, classic ford, retro ford, motorign, automotive, ford anglia for sale, car and classic, carandclassic.com, buy ford anglia, ford anglia values, bespoke car,\" width=\"800\" height=\"407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ZHZKrba0OlnYQYe5Yxcq9h1xe6ksotEr4otXltMY-800x407.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ZHZKrba0OlnYQYe5Yxcq9h1xe6ksotEr4otXltMY-2000x1018.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ZHZKrba0OlnYQYe5Yxcq9h1xe6ksotEr4otXltMY-768x391.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ZHZKrba0OlnYQYe5Yxcq9h1xe6ksotEr4otXltMY-1536x782.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ZHZKrba0OlnYQYe5Yxcq9h1xe6ksotEr4otXltMY-2048x1042.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ZHZKrba0OlnYQYe5Yxcq9h1xe6ksotEr4otXltMY-765x389.jpg 765w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ZHZKrba0OlnYQYe5Yxcq9h1xe6ksotEr4otXltMY-1020x519.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ZHZKrba0OlnYQYe5Yxcq9h1xe6ksotEr4otXltMY-1800x916.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One particularly intriguing fact about the Misfit<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is that it came within a gnat\u2019s wing of finding itself in toy-boxes across the globe. Hot Wheels, manufacturer of iconic models from time immemorial, run an annual \u2018Legends Tour\u2019, cherry-picking the world\u2019s greatest custom cars with the winner being immortalised in production-run miniature. And while the Misfit didn\u2019t win outright, it won the UK leg in 2022, making it the only European entrant into the final top-10. When you consider how bustling and creative the custom car scene is across the world, that\u2019s a remarkable achievement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/auctions\/1963-ford-anglia-misfit-hot-rod-4aP97n\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-20483\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/8prPbUxxKrROK0QEqkSto0GuOhllHjGtMEFYKTDm-800x379.jpg\" alt=\"Misfit, ford, ford anglia, anglia, anglia 105e, ford anglia 1053, hot rod, custom car, hot wheels, hot wheels legends tour, custom car, classic ford, retro ford, motorign, automotive, ford anglia for sale, car and classic, carandclassic.com, buy ford anglia, ford anglia values, bespoke car,\" width=\"800\" height=\"379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/8prPbUxxKrROK0QEqkSto0GuOhllHjGtMEFYKTDm-800x379.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/8prPbUxxKrROK0QEqkSto0GuOhllHjGtMEFYKTDm-2000x948.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/8prPbUxxKrROK0QEqkSto0GuOhllHjGtMEFYKTDm-768x364.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/8prPbUxxKrROK0QEqkSto0GuOhllHjGtMEFYKTDm-1536x728.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/8prPbUxxKrROK0QEqkSto0GuOhllHjGtMEFYKTDm-2048x971.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/8prPbUxxKrROK0QEqkSto0GuOhllHjGtMEFYKTDm-765x363.jpg 765w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/8prPbUxxKrROK0QEqkSto0GuOhllHjGtMEFYKTDm-1020x484.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.carandclassic.com\/magazine\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/8prPbUxxKrROK0QEqkSto0GuOhllHjGtMEFYKTDm-1800x853.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The look of the car is extremely offbeat, which sets it firmly in the Hot Wheels wheelhouse, and the more you look at the body, the more extraordinary details you find: 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 was fabricated, housing the radiator and incorporating original 105E design elements including the headlights, while the rear end has 1959 Cadillac taillights and a cunning third brake light in the roof. The boot is extremely clever \u2013 pulling the number plate bracket pops open the bootlid, inside which we find the relocated battery, fuel cell, jack and fire extinguisher. And those controversial split-rim BBS wheels? They were sourced from a Ferrari GT race car, and wear vintage-style tyres with pinstripes to artfully fuse the old and the, er, slightly less old. 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. And its most alluring attribute is that it hasn\u2019t just been crafted to be interesting to look at; it\u2019s a proper driver\u2019s car, built by a proper driver, and the more you poke about in the car, the more obvious it becomes that the Misfit has been built to last. Quality and integrity are the watchwords \u2013 this hot rod is a moment in time, but also one for the ages. And don\u2019t try to pigeonhole it. It won\u2019t like that.
