johnfromstaffs ◊ 2023-12-08 19:06	The saloon grille looked like a 1937 7W Ten. Shown below is a 1948 North American model 10 hp Anglia. If the subject vehicle had an 1172cc engine, the chassis type should read E03C-F/A, or presumably E493C-F/A. Picture from “Ford Popular and the Small Sidevalves” by Dave Turner. -- Last edit: 2023-12-08 20:03:08
