Basic information and history
This is the chance for the true Ford enthusiast to acquire an iconic 1961 Ford Anglia Deluxe – a car that captures all the charm and timelessness of the 60s!
This particular example has a unique and documented history: The car was bought new by a lady in Borås who kept it until 2010, which gives the car a genuine Swedish background and long-term, caring use. The current odometer reading is 85,093 km .
The car has only had three users over the years. According to the seller, the car was recently acquired by the current owner from a trustee, after the previous owner suffered from dementia. The current owner describes his purchase as an impulse purchase, but is now looking for someone who is truly passionate about the Ford Anglia and its history.

Equipment and options
- Original spare tire at the rear of the car (according to the seller an original accessory)
The car is essentially original. No known modifications or improvements beyond the spare tire solution are listed.
Condition
Body and exterior condition:
The car has a very nice exterior. The paint is in very good condition – so good that the seller believes that some kind of renovation must have been done, although the exact extent is unknown. The chrome, moldings, emblems and headlight lenses are said to be nice and neat. The windows have no damage or wear.
Interior:
The interior of the car is in quite good condition according to the seller. The front seats, especially the driver's seat and the door side at the opening, show some wear after all the years but nothing has been replaced. The headliner is nice and the steering wheel, controls and buttons are in good condition, there is normal patina as well as some scratches on the dashboard. There is also some wear on the door panels and steps.
Tires and rims:
The tires are in top condition and according to the seller, they couldn't be better.
Mechanics and function:
The engine sounds as it should and is easy to start. The brakes work, the car goes straight when driving and rolls easily. The gearbox has unsynchronized first gear (which is normal for the model but noises occur), but otherwise no noises from the gearbox or drivetrain are reported.
Service history
The seller has recently performed service himself:
Oil change, replacement of filter, spark plug and capacitor and renovation of the fuel pump.
The car was last inspected with a passing result in 2016. Previous service records and history are sparse, but a workshop visit (regarding a co-adjustment) is documented.
