Listed today at Classic Car Shop, Whaley Bridge. Last checked today.
A 1959 Ford Popular wearing Anglia badging, powered by the familiar 1,172 cc side-valve-era Ford four and fitted with a manual gearbox and right-hand drive. It is finished in its original black over red trim.
The car has a notable story. Its first owner kept it for more than 30 years and drove it to Poland and back, and it later appeared in the 2015 film Legend, starring Tom Hardy.
The page quotes 57,000 miles (the spec panel shows 5,700, which looks like a typo). It has recently had a top-end overhaul, a new clutch and a wider recommissioning, and is described as rot-free and highly original.
