martc Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Arundel Gate, Sheffield. An atmospheric pic, but what is the white & brown estate/van with windows in the background? Has the look of a Hillman about it, the rear wheel arches suggest a '50's Minx, but the front ones don't. Or is it a Vangaurd missing the rear spats?

It's funny you should say that; I've just had a shower, during which, out of nowhere I thought 'Ford Prefect Estate' something like this... Which, is labelled as a '100E Squire Estate', is the 300E a later version, or a different engine or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lesapandre Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 10 hours ago, sheffcortinacentre said: Ford 300 E escort estate. It was the Ford Thames 300E van with side windows cut to make an estate and folding tailgate - the first use of the Escort name I think. If you felt posher you got the Squire - which had more trim and even some woody bits. In effect: Anglia trim = Escort. Prefect trim = Squire. I think the engines were the same. adw1977 and martc 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
