When production of the older Ford Anglia and Ford Prefect was stopped in 1953 the Popular was developed as a budget alternative. The Popular was based on the old, prewar-style E494A Anglia. Costing under £400 including tax, it was the lowest price car around. Its top speed was around 60 mph with a fuel consumption of around 36 mpg. It was powered by a Ford Sidevalve 1172 cc, 30 bhp, four cylinder engine. It had a single vacuum powered wiper, no heater, vinyl trim and very little chrome. Over 150,000 Populars were made. Shown here in the most popular colour black.
