My recent aquisition Found in a newspaper ad in the Bremerton Sun
Rust free , paint needs finished, and runs.
No doubt paid too much but after looking at rust buckets for the last three years, seems I could not pass it up. Screaming 997 power on 13in wheels. Clutch needed adjustment and the steering needs some work.

What a great buy! Of course I am biaised as I own a 59 105E over here in the UK, in fact mine was first registered 50 years ago today. I should have had a birthday cake made in the shape of an Anglia, lol. I hope you enjoy your motoring with the 997, all 39 horsepower of it. They are okay, I cruise along in mine at 65mph no problem. And they're very economical unlike my Chevy. Although the Chevy does cruise somewhat faster than 65mph.
Hey DLH,
I can't see your picture, but did you buy that Anglia in Belfair? I had talked with the owner but was never able to actully see the car other than in pictures. If this is the same car I'm thinking of, it has a unique to North America grille (borrowed from the van) that was only used in 1962 and 63.
Paul -- Happy Birthday to your Anglia, yes I think a cake would not by out of line for the world's oldest 105E.

Yes Michael a cake would be most appropriate especially as I turned 55 yesterday, lol. I think Lee's 105E is older than mine, his is probably a pre-production car more than likely used for road tests etc back then. Indeed I found an American magazine with a test of the Anglia from 1960 which may be his car. They are great little cars.
