Matchbox 7b; Ford Anglia

Harry Potter brought the old Ford Anglia back to life. What was once a ubiquitous sight on our streets had been all but forgotten, but good old JK Rowling reminded us what a pretty little car this always was. It was not technologically advanced, ground breaking or innovative, although the styling knocked the Morris Minor into a cocked hat. It was just a good, solid Ford Fiesta equivalent of its day.

At 7b in the range and sequence the Anglia was made from 1961 to 1967 and there are no really rare versions. It is always light blue and can have grey, silver or black plastic wheels. Grey plastic wheels get a small premium over black or silver.
