| The idea
for an Ford Anglia 105E Owners Club dates back to
1972 when a monthly magazine called "Hot
Car" printed this advert .... 
.... one
John Colyer, wrote and offered his services. Alas however,
due to lack of support and other factors, the
club did not get under way, though John did have
printed some 250 membership cards and other
stationary in anticipation.
Renewed
interest was stirred again in April 1981 when an
article in 'Practical Classics' magazine
concerning the then new Assistant Editor, John
Williams showed he had in fact learned to drive
in a Ford Anglia 105E.
Interest
in a club was once again generated in November
1981, when in the same magazine (Practical
Classics) Paul Guiness wrote saying he was hoping
to form a club for the Ford Anglia.
In December 1981, the Ford
105E Owners Club was founded.

With the help of both
members and officials, the club went from
strength to strength. Membership numbers climbed
and the benefits available to those members
increased.
The Club became recognised as a motor club by the
Ford Motor Company Ltd, the Royal Automobile Club
(MSA) Ltd and the Automobile Association.
In January 1993 the club
changed its name to the Ford Anglia 105E
Owners Club.

The Club still provides the
same service to its members, and despite the car
getting older, it is getting a whole new set of
fans. Where membership to most owners clubs is
waning, the Ford Anglia 105E Owners Club is
managing to keep an enthusiastic 800 + members
going and has local area groups and
representatives all around the UK.
See you at the Shows !!
