1963 Ford Anglia 105E HSCC Race Car

Described by the vendor as one of the most successful Ford Anglia's to hit the Historic Racing Saloon scene, this was thanks in part to the excellent build specification, and also to revered drivers such as John Shipman and Mark Hales who have campaigned the car.

During the 2000 season the car broke the lap record at Silverstone for 1000cc class. It also set many more lap records at other circuits on its way to class victories. One of the more memorable being the 1hour Top Hat race at Silverstone. Following its success in the 1000cc class in 2000, the car was then stripped to a bare metal shell for a complete re-build and paint in Porsche Riviera Blue. During this process many modifications were made along with the installation of the 1300cc Geoff Richardson engine, culminating in over 700 man hours to complete to exacting standards. Now weighing approximately only 600kilograms, the vehicle was extensively raced and tested by Mark Hales and comes with set up data for many UK and European circuits both in dry and wet conditions.

This car was raced worldwide with many lap records, race wins and championship victories. Here are a selection of the lap times: MONTHLERY (2.1miles) 1.44 CHIMAY (2.8miles) 2.14 ANDERSTORP (2.5miles) 2.00 DONINGTON GP (2.5miles) 2.04 SPA (4.3miles) 3.06 SILVERSTONE GP (3.1miles) 2.17 SILVERSTONE CLUB (1.6miles) 1.13

This potent competitor is comprised of a steel shell body with glass fibre bonnet, boot, doors and wings and Lexan windows. In 2007 it was fitted with a new Advanced Fuel Systems Polyurethane Fuel Cell (current) which also comprises Facet pump in the boot.

Geoff Richardson built the engine creating a 1300 dry sumped pre-cross flow GR010102 to full Cosworth specification. It includes Arrow con-rods and Twin 45 Webers producing 154bhp @ 8100rpm and 105 lbs/ft torque @ 6000rpm.
