How much horsepower does a 1960 Ford Anglia 105E have?

The 1960 Ford Anglia 105E had a horsepower rating of 39 bhp (brake horsepower). This compact British car, produced by Ford of Britain, was known for its distinctive "bubble" styling and economical performance.


Detailed Specifications


The 1960 Ford Anglia 105E was powered by a 997 cc (61 cu in) overhead valve inline four-cylinder engine. This engine produced a maximum power output of 39 bhp at 4,800 rpm and a peak torque of 58 lb-ft at 2,800 rpm. The engine was paired with a four-speed manual transmission, which helped the Anglia achieve a top speed of around 75 mph.


Despite its modest horsepower, the Anglia's lightweight construction and compact size made it a nimble and maneuverable vehicle, particularly well-suited for urban driving and commuting. The car's small displacement engine also contributed to its excellent fuel efficiency, which was an important consideration for many buyers at the time.


Historical Context


The Ford Anglia 105E was introduced in 1959 as a replacement for the earlier Anglia model. It was part of Ford's efforts to develop more modern and competitive small cars to meet the changing demands of the European market in the post-war period. The Anglia's distinctive styling, with its rounded front and rear, became an iconic design that helped it stand out from the competition.


While the Anglia 105E's horsepower may seem low by today's standards, it was a typical output for a small, economical car of its era. The focus was on providing reliable, affordable transportation rather than high-performance. The Anglia's popularity and longevity, with production lasting until 1967, demonstrate its success in meeting the needs of its target market.
