1964 Ford Anglia 105e 1500GT Revival
Well, the time has finally come to document the revival of the other Ford Anglia in our family! My dad is selling off most of his collection (listings to appear soon) and when he has the space from those sales in the garage he plans to revive his 105e.
He has owned this car since the early 70's and during its life it's had an upgrade to a 1500 GT engine from a Cortina, along with a gearbox and brakes from an Anglia 1200. The last time this was on the road was 1989 and it was last run in approx 2000 when it was put into its current storage.
It's solid but scruffy and has a case of chicken pox. A full body restoration will occur down the line but dad just wants to enjoy it for the moment. It's a very sentimental car to him and he took it off the road in 1989 because he couldn't find replacement strut top mounts for it (oh how times have changed!). It then started getting further in line behind other cars and projects he wanted to do and now he's realised he wants quality over quantity.
I think work starts next month, so I will keep you posted!

Parts were ordered today. Everything but the fuel tank and tyres. Came to 371GBP (over $500) but dad says he will get started on it next month!

Lots of photos please !
Re: 1964 Ford Anglia 105e 1500GT Revival
Seconded! In my opinion, the red stripe and roof on white body is the best ever colourway for an Anglia of that shape. It's also the colourway seen on the Anglia spotted in the film Deliverance, in a scrapyard near where the characters stocked up on supplies for their encounters with wild water and natives with unusual tastes in physical jiggery pokery with other human beings or, presumably; squealing piggies. "Squeal like a piggy, etc." Disturbing film, but there's an Anglia in it so it's worth watching for the eleventeenth time.

Shame on you, Rich! Everyone has seen Deliverance at least seventeen times so by failing in your duty to seek out and post images of incongruously placed classic cars, you've let us all down.
According to my friend and erstwhile colleague, Evil Lynn, Burt Reynolds' moustache looks like it might be itchy . But even more important and on topic , does anyone know how the car got into that scrapyard, where the scrapyard can be found and whether there was a reason for its inclusion in the film?

Hmm, I recommend that you try Royal Mail 24 hour tracked. Should that not be what you meant, there's always your local priest, they're pretty useful at that sort of thing.
Oh, you mean the film. Course you do. It's available from the usual streaming sites and is a favourite for watching on videotape, so dust down the old VHS machine and buy the tape. I'd send you my copy but it's on Betamax 'cos better.

Production. Deliverance was shot primarily in Rabun County in northeastern Georgia. The canoe scenes were filmed in the Tallulah Gorge southeast of Clayton and on the Chattooga River. This river divides the northeastern corner of Georgia from the northwestern corner of South Carolina.
