I missed the boat
As a 100e fan I am always looking, this car came up again for sale and I almost did it but when I called I found that he sold it (anyone here?) for $3800 This was a bargain for the buyer, it came with lots of new spares and the Aquaplane engine mods not to mention the spare overdrive gearbox, recent paint and interior work plus lots more. Oh well I will just spend the money on my projects at hand.

I am a little sorry too but that saying about snoozing and loosing is appropriate here. This car was for sale last summer for $4900 and I thought it was a good deal then but I took no action. The reality is I don't really need another toy car as nice as it is.

That car was for sale in Abbotsford just 1/2 hour drive from Lynden, He currently has this 105e for sale too. He just dropped the price to 6500 from 7500.
Oddly the 100e seemed like a much better deal with all the extras and Aquaplane equipment?

That's a good question Doug, my wife actually called the seller re the 100e and he did say that it wasn't running properly and it had some tail light problems. Tail/brake lights would be a very easy fix and I am going to guess that the running problems may have been due to the twin SU carb setup??? In the end all this stuff would have been easy to sort but I snoozed on that one.

You may be right about that as the Anglia's time was running out, just use up the bits. I used to have a 1200 super and it was loaded with all the chrome, carpet, padded dash and the bigger brakes, I turned it into a race car and eventually destroyed it on the track. I liked that car.peteleo wrote:It maybe a 1200 engine as the carb has an accelerator pump in view.
My brother's '66 Anglia Super also has a small grille. I suspect the factory had a surplus of standard grilles near the end of the Anglia's run which were used on export models.
