257 Ford Prefect 100E 4 door Saloon (1954) TTO 649 by Robert Knight Via Flickr: Ford Prefect 100E 4 door Saloon (1953-59) Engine 1172cc Ford Sidevalve S4 Production 100,554 Registration Number TTO 649 (Nottingham) Ford (UK) ALBUM www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/sets/72157623665118181... The Ford Prefect 100E was alongside the similar Ford Anglia heralding a much more modern look to the entry level of the Ford range. Structurally the twin of the Anglia 100E 1954-59 with different grilles the Anglia being two door and the Prefect four door. McPherson front suspension struts, semi elliptic rear suspension and a unitary body. The redesigned engines with pump cooling, are still the long stroke flatheads. Ride stopping powers and handling are vastly improved. Both cars are also built on an 87 inch wheelbase which makes for narrow doors particularly on the four door Prefect. The four doors and convex vertical barred grille identifies the Prefect from the Anglia. In 1955 an estate car version was introduced, marketed as the Ford Squire and mechanically identical to the contemporary Escort, an estate car version of the Ford Anglia 100E, but with wooden strakes and a higher trim level. A few from 1956 on have two pedal drive. Diolch am 95,469,081 o olygfeydd anhygoel, mae pob un yn cael ei werthfawrogi'n fawr. Thanks for 95,469,081 amazing views, every one is greatly appreciated.
