The Ford 103E is best known to most enthusiasts as the “sit up and beg” Popular. Launched in 1953 as a budget addition to the Anglia and Prefect range, it hit the market at the perfect time as second-hand cars were virtually unobtainable.
For sale alongside the more modern three-box monocoque Prefect/Anglia it won many friends for its unpretentious basic design which, despite a lack of such luxuries as a heater or passenger windscreen wiper, performed sterling service with considerable charm.
This nicely presented Pop has been owned by the current owner for 20 years and has been well cared for and used sparingly during his ownership. It has had just two previous owners and its most recent MOT (for which it is now exempt) expired as recently as October this year.
In nice, mellow and sound original condition, it is described by the vendor as running and driving well and is ready to be enjoyed by its new owner.
