086 Ford Prefect E493A (Modified) (1953) HSJ 285 by Robert Knight Via Flickr: Ford Prefect (1949-53) Original Engine 1172cc S4 SV Replacement Engine 2300cc Production Number 192,229 Registration Number HSJ 286 (Re-registered on a loosely vacant age related number) FORD SET www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/sets/72157623665118181... The E493A version of the Ford Prefect was launched in 1949, replacing the earlier (1939-48) E93A. The new car had a new bonnet with rounded radiator grille replacing the Vee grille of the earlier model, headlamps were repositioned into the wings and trafficators were fitted (internally lit semaphores springing out from the door pillars to signal left and right turns), though due to space restrictions these were left out on the Australian-built Ute. Only four-door saloons were available on the home market, the two-door sector being left to the Anglia but some were made for export. The brakes remained mechanically operated using the Girling rod system with 10 in (250 mm) drums and the chassis still had transverse leaf springs front and rear. A 1948 road test in Motor magazine, reported a top speed of 61mph with the 0-50mph sprint taking 22.8 seconds and overall fuel consumption of 27.6 mpg. The test car which had the optional leather upholstery cost £412 including taxes. In standard form, they commented that it was the cheapest 4-door car on the British market. This car is now powered by a 2300cc Ford Cologne V6 engine, it is also lowered and has much more chunky wheels, just hope the brakes and suspension have also been beefed up.
