Hi all. I am a new member of this forum and very new to English Fords. I just picked up a 1959 100e and this is the first Ford I have ever own. I am excited to get sucked into these little cars as I have always liked them but I didn't have the opportunity to acquire one until now.

You will have to pardon my ignorance as I know very little about English Fords, but I am looking forward to gaining some much needed knowledge on the subject.

Here is a photo of the car, it was originally a southern states car as as such has very minimal rust (luckily) and what I believe are the original 63000 miles.

Welcome to the forum. Nice find. You'll find here quite a few people that are knowledgeable on the 100E series.
Car seems to look original. Ermine white ? Most parts are still available in this Country.

Regards,

Pete

Thank you, that's good to know that there is a knowledge and parts base in the US. I am not sure what color it is, I was looking at some color chips and Ermine white is certainly a good guess. I know the car was repainted once in the 1970s, thankfully in the original color.

Welcome. Sweet little car you have there. Sorry to be a pain, but you spelled freude wrong, unless I am missing some hidden meaning.
Cheers
PS I was about to say I've yet to own one but then I remembered I had a 107E for about a month back in the day.
