Thus 1967 Ford Anglia Super, affectionately nicknamed ‘Kelly’ has remained within the same family from new. Presented as a highly endearing example of Ford’s characterful 1960s saloon, this Anglia benefits from long-term family ownership, regular maintenance and a pleasingly personal history. The Vendor reports that the car has always been garaged overnight and remains fully roadworthy, running well and ready to be enjoyed.
The Vendor advises that the car has been regularly maintained throughout its life, with many receipts present to support this. Service invoices on file detail maintenance carried out between 2017 and 2025, including a replacement sump gasket, brake disc and pad replacement, clutch replacement and fan belt replacement, along with further miscellaneous work undertaken to keep the vehicle roadworthy. While the car appears to have been well looked after mechanically, cosmetic attention will be required to both the bodywork and interior. The Vendor notes some rust requiring attention, along with wear and tear to the upholstery, making this an honest, usable classic with scope for improvement.
Remaining within the same family from new, this Anglia Super offers the sort of ownership story that is increasingly difficult to find. Accompanying paperwork includes the original registration documents and user manuals, together with a collection of maintenance receipts evidencing care in more recent years. Its long-term family connection, combined with the Vendor’s comments regarding regular upkeep and garaged storage, adds greatly to the car’s appeal.
The 1967 Ford Anglia Super, also known as the 123E, was the better-appointed version of Ford’s iconic small saloon. Powered by the larger 1,198cc ‘Kent’ engine, the Super offered improved performance over the standard 997cc Anglia, along with a four-speed manual gearbox featuring synchromesh on all forward gears. Distinguished by its distinctive period styling, including the reverse-rake rear window, chrome detailing and more refined interior trim, the Anglia Super provided a noticeably more comfortable and capable driving experience. With around 48 bhp and a top speed in the region of 83 mph, it was well suited to both town use and longer journeys by the standards of the day. By 1967, the Anglia was nearing the end of production, soon to be succeeded by the Ford Escort. Today, the Anglia remains one of Ford’s most recognisable post-war models with particular thanks to the Harry Potter films.
A delightful family-owned-from-new Ford Anglia Super with a charming backstory and good supporting paperwork. With regular recent maintenance, original documents and manuals, ‘Kelly’ represents a very appealing opportunity for those seeking an honest, usable 1960s Ford with genuine long-term provenance. Some cosmetic and upholstery improvements may be welcomed in time, but its originality, family history and period charm make it a particularly endearing classic.
