Sunbar ◊ 2006-04-02 12:33	Ford E494C 5cwt Van built from 1949. http://www.vintagecommercialvehicle.freeserve.co.uk/ford/ford.html Never actually named as the 'Anglia' van 1949-53 or 'Popular' van, only known as such because of the car models they were based on. The name 'Popular' for the saloon (sedan) body was used after the introduction of the 100E Anglia from 1953. Although not easy to see from the picture, the van in the movie could be from 1954 since it does not appear to have a roof mounted windscreen wiper. The makers name was Fordson Thames from 1939 - 1957 and Ford Thames from 1957 - 1965 I believe. -- Last edit: 2006-08-20 14:07:34
