Unfortunately, I will have less time to spend on FLICKR in the coming period due to my study 'Drone Pilot Advanced EASA Specific-Category STS-01/PDRA-S01' 🚁
I keep trying to post 2 automotives a day on my stream and not in groups except by request

Special:
- The 105E/106E Series had an American-influenced style with a sweeping nose line, the unmistakable reverse slope / backward-slanted window (according to marketing claims it would remain clear in rain, but not everybody was happy with it) and its very-over-square, rev-happy OHV engine.
- In the film “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” is a blue Ford Anglia 105E used by Ron to rescue Harry from his bedroom. The car was bewitched and therefore could fly.
- The Anglia Series was replaced by the new Ford Escort in 1968.
- The 105E/106E Series was available as this 2-door Coach and as 3-door Estate (307E: 1961-1967: 129,528 units built).
- The Anglia Series was assembled in Dagenham - UK (until 1964), in Halewood - UK (from 1963) and in Broadmeadows - Australia.

Special:
- This car is slightly customized ☺☺!
- The "British" Consul was introduced at the 1950 London Motor Show.
- It was designed ("slab-sided styling") by George Walker of the parent United States Ford company and the 4-dr Saloon was built at the Ford plant in Dagenham (Ford code of EOTA).
- The Convertible (1953-1956) were built by Carbodies Limited in Coventry.
- Some estate cars were made by the coachbuilder Abbott of Farnham in Farnham.
- Technically, the MK1 didn't exist - it didn't become known as the Mk 1 until the MK 2 arrived in February 1956.
- The engine was up-to-date (overhead valves and hydraulic clutch) and fully hydraulic drum brakes, but the (steering gear lever) three-speed manual gearbox (only one and three synchronized) was a little out-of-date.
- The modern unibody had rear wheel drive and was the first British mass produced car to use the now-common MacPherson strut independent front suspension.
- The car from the front was supported at both sides by a flexible helical spring.
- These enclose the telescopes (keeps the car in a straight line) and also serve as hydraulic dampers.
- The bottom of the telescope is held in place by a ball and socket joint and captures the grandest forces during braking and cornering.
- The ball joint resting in a triangle which is connected to a tubular cross-beam arm and with another arm to a rubber mounted anti-roll bar.
- The rear suspension had a live rear axle and semi-elliptic leaf springs.
- The handbrake was an umbrella-style pull lever under the dashboard.
- The windscreen wipers used the antiquated but improved vacuum system (a vacuum pump linked to the camshaft-driven fuel pump).
- An optional radio could be placed in the full-width parcel shelf.
