72mk1escort Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 My Dad has done a search for his Ford Anglia van which he restored back in the 80's between 1984 and 1987 and fitted a 1600 Mexico engine to it,A Corsair 2000E gearbox,Mexico rear axle,Classic Capri Front end,Mk2 escort handbrake linkage,new front doors,new seats,respray,front straight through exhaust.He visited many Anglia owners club meetings.To his supprise it is still on the road.He spotted it about 5 years ago but hasnt seen it since.The vans details are as follows: The enquiry is complete The vehicle details for ESU 548 are: Date of Liability 01 05 2007 Date of First Registration 16 12 1987 Year of Manufacture 1963 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1600CC CO2 Emissions Not Available Fuel Type Petrol Export Marker Not Applicable Vehicle Status SORN Not Due Vehicle Colour GREEN Vehicle Type Approval The information contained on this page is correct at the time of enquiry. He would love to know how his old van is doing and would love to see some pictures of how the van looks now. Will add a picture of what it used to look like when i dig out all of the old photos from in the loft. My Dad would love to hear from the current owner so he would much appreciate it if you could keep your eyes peeled for the old girl.

ZetecVan 2.0 Posted December 24, 2006 Report Posted December 24, 2006 Ken seemed to think it was in the Leeds area, but I've never seen it at any shows or on the streets up here. There was a green one at the Ripon show a few months ago, but it was a different reg.
72mk1escort Posted December 25, 2006 Author Report Posted December 25, 2006 Yeh someone did say that on the anglia web site It might be a collector whos got it or something cause they like to keep em in garages and never take em out to shows etc.
