Car's legacy
Ford Anglia's history and significance
The Ford Anglia first hit the roads a month after the UK entered World War II. It was designed as a small, practical car for tough times.
The sixth-generation model came in late 1950s with styling cues from American cars of that era.
Despite its modest four-cylinder power, it became a sales success and was even used as a police car.
Film appearance
The car's role in the Harry Potter franchise
The Ford Anglia became a global sensation when it appeared floating outside the Dursleys's bungalow in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
This particular model also made an appearance in a Harry Potter-themed episode of The Masked Singer.
Despite some oil leaks and cosmetic issues, this car is a fun movie replica to drive around.
