I have read in a article of the history of Anglia's on line that 60 of these were installed at the factory...mostly in sedans and right hand drive.... Guess I need to go back and read through all my saved bookmarks. I have looked closely at the installation and it sure looks factory to me. Unless it had a pre-crossflow that was changed?

OK now I may be getting somewhere......I have been learning how to reorganize my photobucket.....seems when I have guests there they cannot see all the photos...... I think I just may go to the imageshack and see if that is better...Thanks

Fantastic.......just read the whole...well most of the whole book.. Thanks this will be a great help with so much info!! I'm still running into conflicting info on these engines.....mine is in a 1966 Anglia Van, but the book here says the motor was developed in1967??? I read other info about this engine around 1960...???

Ok as a newbie I guess I goofed..... all my photos have been removed?? What did I do wrong?

I just looked on Amazon and this book was over $200.00 us I'd sure love to get my hands on that pdf...... I had never heard of the crossflow engine before I got my hands on my 66 Anglia Van.....I need all the info I can get!

I was hoping you gus over the pond would understand my interest in restoring the van..... My understanding is that the crossflow engine was very rare in the Angelia's of all types not to mention a left hand drive van. Here in the states you can buy a 34 truck any day of the week, but the 66 Anglia is something I have never seen, yet alone a crossflow. I have way too many cars and too little money now that I'm retired so I want to thin the herd and do the van as best as I can...leave it as my legacy. The wagon is a 1958 Rambler it has less than 55,000 mile, 6 cyl, 3 speed with overdrive...I need to get some photos of the interior, but here are some of the outside. I now have posted in the introduce yourself thread......I have some of my cars posted there.......felt like I was bragging so I only post some of the funner ones.

Wife says I need to sell the 34 for funds to do the Anglia...... I'm thinking of lowering the panel a bit and getting those funny wheels off it. I like Green and some old Shelby style stripes.....maybe silver...redo the chrome....disc brakes...power windows and A/C....did I say I'm an old geezer? I'm not so sure what can be done to this one.....I could just do the old American thing and put MustangII under the front and a 5 speed trans out of a chevy s-10 mated up to the engine.....but if there are good parts then I'd like to leave is more as it is.... I have owned a hand full of MGs and Austin Healys and love the way they drove...so hope the Anglia is similar. Do you know much about this engine? Thanks Mate

Hi I'm a newbie to this site...looks like a great place to be. I have a 1966 Ford Anglia Panel, left hand drive with what I believe to be a crossflow engine. The truck is in pretty good condition with just a little rust and no dents.....I'm a happy fellow. I'm guessing this is a very rare truck and have been selling some other cars to gather up the funds to do a full restoration....rotisserie style. It has low miles and the interior is mostly all there Any way here are a few photos and I'd love to hear some of your thoughts. The fellow I got it from told me the X marks on the side were from winning drag races....???? I'm in the U.S.A and have never seen one of these....been a gear head for over 50 years.....so it must be worth doing right? I placed the gallon jug of washer fluid on the roof so people can see how small this van is....not many small cars like this in the states.. Also we call these Panel trucks over here...really confuses my wife... I call it a panel unless I've been reading this website then I start calling it a van....she thought I bought another car...lol
