1960 Ford 300E Thames Van

The new 1953-59 100E Prefect / Anglia was built in the UK and also Australia and New Zealand, available as a 4 door Prefect and 2 door Anglia. Also available was an Estate, basic was the Escort and upmarket was the Squire. The Van version was badged a Thames. The 100E still ran the old 1172 sidevalve, although with some modifications, now with 36hp.
The Mk II 100E of 1957 got a mesh grille (on the Anglia), fluted bumpers were replaced by rounded, a larger rear window, larger tail lights, a V bonnet motif and restyled headlight bezels.
The 300E Thames Van was introduced in July 1954, based on the 100E saloon range. It shared its bodyshell with the Escort and Squire estates. The doors were shorter than the saloons. Initially produced only as a single model with 5 long cwt carrying capacity, the range was later expanded with the Standard and Deluxe 7 long cwt variants. 300E production ended in 1961, replaced by the Anglia 105E based Thames 307E
Engine; 1172cc sidevalve 4 cyl
