- Photos of Ford 103E Populars, E494A Anglias, Model Ys, E93A & E494A Prefects, E83Ws and more make up this 100-photo "sit up and beg" sidevalve Fords video.
If you've already seen the vid I did recently on a very original Ford 8 E494A Anglia, you'll know that I'm fond of the "upright" British Fords of the 1930s through to the 1950s. Gathered here are photos of these classic Ford 8s and 10s, powered respectively by either the "8hp" 933cc engine, or the larger "10hp" 1172cc engine. This video doesn't include the 100E range that sold alongside the 103E Popular, I'll do a separate video for those Fords later.
There were many different models and versions of these classic Fords produced over the years, and I've tried to include as many as I can, although due to their popularity (no pun intended) the more common cars and vans now in preservation - ie the Ford 103E Pop, the E493A Prefect, and the E83W van & pickup - tend to feature the most.
There are plenty of pre-war cars included also, including rare surviving examples of the 7W Ten, the 7Y Eight, and my favourites from the pre-war years, the Model CX and the earlier Model Y.
Vans and pickups in both 5cwt and 10cwt form also feature regularly, as do a number of Ford-based specials and, to finish with, a few hot-rodded cars and vans.
Is your car or van featured? If so, please say Hello in the comments section.
Many of the Fords featured are in wonderfully restored condition, but I've also included a wide selection of barn finds, restoration projects, and other similarly dusty & crusty survivors. Did they go on to be restored?
This, the Old Classic Car YT channel, has quite a few Ford-related videos - with more planned - so please take a look at the other uploads now on here:

Memories memories. First car I can recollect may have been a Ford. The only photo is with my daughter. Reg: EPJ 76. When I was about 8 a black Ford Pop arrived. PLW 10. Both numbers valuable today. That car was special and took us miles to visit family and gentle country jaunts. My left hip was immobilised and I couldn't sit normally for 3 years. I had to kneel up on the passenger seat. Imagine that nowadays!!
After some butchery I was able to sit, and could at last watch where we were going! That cosy Ford gave way to a Triumph Herald about '63.
I had a 100E Anglia in '70, which was written off by the gorgeous young lady to whom I was giving driving experience!! No! we didn't end up together. [more's the pity!] Those wipers were diabolical, but the cars were brilliant. I drove for distance. Not for speed. That came later!!
Interesting, thanks for sharing your memories
Very interesting. I hated the "Upright" Ford Pop in its day, but I would so love to have one now !
My brother and I shared an E93A Ford Pop and then a Ford Squire. They both had fairly hectic lives, being our first cars. we also bought a fairly rough Prefect, don't know why, probably just because it was there. I rebuilt the bottoms of all the doors and we had one each then.Pre mot.
I was delighted to see a Ford 7Y - our family's first car when was a kid on post-WW2 Britain. I can remember the registration number to this day: ERW 564. It was a cool try color.
Glad it was of interest and rekindled a few memories!!
My first car at the age of 17 was a 1953 Prefect which cost me £25, I had it for about a year, never let me down and eventually sold it for £45. Ever since I’ve been trying to remember the blessed reg no..
Thanks for posting your photos. In 1972, I had a Ford Thames E83W panel van in Salisbury, Rhodesia, that had been fitted with a Chevy 283 V-8, automatic trans, and the rear axle from a '63 Impala. Handling was OK but the brakes were truly terrifying, and best not touched in an emergency. Although the motor was stock, the power to weight ratio was far better than most of the four cylinder modified cars I encountered. No roll bar, no seat belts, the twin Jag electric fuel pumps ready to pump gas everywhere if you roll the thing, what could possibly go wrong? But Death's an old wives' tale when you're 18. The truck was built by Cecil Swan, so Cecil, if you're out there: I survived! How about that?
Sounds like a proper handful!
I had a 1938 7Y which had been in my family for a few years .,but stored for about 6 years. My 17 year old friend had just bought a Morris 8 for 12.10 shillings and I wanted a car ! We got the old Ford going ,and it passed the MOT ! I just drove it for the sheer pleasure for 10 weeks until the ancient wiring finally gave out. For a few weeks I drove it with just one sidelight and a battery bicycle lamp tied to the other headlight fitting. Ah, the joys of living in the 60s !
From Down South, "Across the Pond", as some might say: I enjoyed the show. That fine white roadster reminds me very much of a 1937 American Ford. Nice job.
My Dad's first car, in1955 was a 1954,103E Popular, SKN 294. He progressed to a Squire in 1959.
Interesting photos, thank you! I realize that it's usually done to comply with local laws, safety interests and convenience in use, but those retro-fitted 'bug-eyed' amber indicators screwed onto the wings or bumpers just don't go, in my humble opinion! A lot people did this in the late 50s and 60s also for day-to-day car usage, but even then I thought they looked a bit odd. I think I'm right in saying that it is not something you yourself would willingly do personally. If I was forced to do so, I think I would opt for a smaller, flat and clear lens at the front with amber bulbs. Much better to stick with the semaphore trafficators for pre-1955, cars and maybe get them converted to 'flash' as well as pop in and out... History seemed to repeat itself in the 1970s / early 1980s when people started to think of reversing lights and rear fog lights as a desirable necessity. They usually looked untidy and awful. Going back to the 50s, there were even screw on 'fins' you could buy to fit to your Mk 1 Consul / Zephyr / Zodiac to give them that 'up-to-date streamlined look'! Saw them advertised in the old Motor / Mechanics magazine many years ago... The things people did...
Hi, thanks for watching, nope I'm no fan of later aftermarket indicators drilled and mounted onto the wings directly. If they're really needed, mount them on a bracket under the bumper somewhere
I’m the owner of CWU874 Ford 8 7Y 1938, at the Elvington Air Museum. The reason it’s on display there is that during the war it was based their and belonged to a carpenter who repaired windows and doors etc. I’m the 3rd owner from new and I knew the second owner and the first owner was his father
Wow great history, thanks for the background info on the 7Y, a great little car 👍👍👍
Thanks for a great video! In the mid 1950's I learnt to drive and passed my test in the company E83 van. My first car was inherited from my dad, a Model Y four door with long rad. I then got a 1953 Fordson 5CWT 8Hp. Black, which I fitted side windows in made of perspex! I also fully reconditioned the engine when one of the hollow cam followers gave up (I worked for a motor engineering firm). My girlfriend and I went all over GB camping in that. Happy days. (been married now 58 years!) Many happy memories of the Fords 😄
My grandma bought a model Y brand new for my uncle to drive her around.She did not drive herself.I have only seen a picture of this car as it was before I was born.My cousins first car was a Prefect E 49 3 A.
My first car was a 1953 Prefect PKP959 THAT WAS IN 1966 I often wonder if it is still about.
GreaT video thanks for sharing. I have a memory of an E83W with a Paraffin Tank fitted in a“ Caltex ” livery. Do you have a photo of such?
Glad you liked it, no I've not seen any pictures of the one you remember
2:00 As Australia invented it, Australia gets to name it! These types of vehicles are called *Utility* vehicles, or *Utes* for short.
My dad's first car was a 103e pop, black with red interior. He said he had to top up the oil each time he put fuel in it.
My dad had a ford thames van reg .mpy 721 about 55 years ago.wonder if its still about ??
What! No V8 Pilots? We're sidevalve too!
Just the 8s and 10s in this one!
very nice lot of cars. thank you for showing these.
reminds me of when my hubby and i used to go to these sort of shows every summer. loved them. sadly he died 2 years ago. i miss really these sort of days out!
Sorry to read that, hopefully the shows will start to happen again before too long
Great to see all these sidevalves but I do feel a bit like the owner of the car time forgot. My 1946 e04a Anglia was the first to carry the famous model name and surely needs representing? Mine has been retired in the corner of the barn for 25 years but still looks reasonably presentable. Maybe it's time to pass it on to another owner soon though....
Please send me some details via dodgenut@4onthefloor.co.uk it might make for a companion to my E494A!
I thot 'sidevalve' meant motors .. not cars. Where's the sidevalves?
My first car was an E93A? Prefect from 1939, the same year as me, thought it was the bees knees being my first car - until I bought a 1950 Hillman Minx, that was like a Rolls Royce in comparison. Independent front suspension, hydraulic brakes, bench seat and column change it even had a heater. Still a side valve engine but a much more refined one.
Yes I like the 1950s Minxes too, I'd definitely consider one (probably one of the OHV versions though)
G'day ,just found you,love it,brings back lots of great memories, Dad had a 1961 Vanen Plas Princess , broke his heart to sell it before we came out here to Aust. any way just remembered about 10yrs ago saw a fully restored Albion van in a drive way on a back road, I think it could have been a camper,not sure,any way thanks!
I hope to add in more content along these lines, so please subscribe and click that notifications bell. Glad you liked the vid, there are several featuring older lorries in them now
I can remember all these cars being on the road when I was growing up my dad Learnt to drive in a my grandfathers model T Ford me it was my dad’s Austin 1300 my son my wife’s Nissan Micra my daughter it was my Ford Focus my granddaughter will probably pass her test in a Hydrogen car on Mars how thinks Change
Thanks for watching this Eddie
We have a blue e493a prefect in New Zealand
Neat little cars, thanks for watching. More Ford content is in the planning stages so please keep an eye on the channel
@@oldclassiccarUK we use to drive it all the time but we didn't have room as we are a group of apartments so it hasn't been Used much + coved. The apartments were built in the 50s. It is in storage. 1 Time we were putting stuff in storage and it hadn't been running for a couple of months and started in about 5-10 seconds
Hello, Thank you for posting this.
A quick question for which I have never known the answer: Is an E93A 1172cc engine 'plug compatible' with the 933cc motor in a Model Y? (Ie could you just pull out the 933cc motor and put a 1172cc in its place using the same mountings, gearbox bell housing and other fittings?)
That's a good question, I've not compared the two but maybe someone else knows here?
@@oldclassiccarUK I feel sure somebody will know.
I remember when I was a little kid I was car mad, reading every copy of Motor and Autocar that my dad brought home from hid magazine club at his place of work. I remember the introduction of the 100E series. At the same time, Ford took the upright Anglia, put the 1172cc Prefect engine in it and renamed it the Popular. At the time, as a little kid, I imagined it was a straight swap but today I have no idea.
Back in the 1950s, we had a Fordson van that used to belong to Mr 'Teasy Weasy', a quite famous hairdresser of the time, before moving on to a 1952 2 tone blue Consul Mk1 followed in 1961 by a brand new Anglia 105E, our first brand new car.
Great to see this all cars, & thanks for posting all photos of cars-------
Thanks for watching!
I remember in the late 1950s as a young boy we lived in a house that was surrounded by a large retail garage and motor sales area. The Fords came in all the time and I can vividly recall the out of date Pops alongside the newer Fords. The Pops were often blue or pea green and were in large numbers. The photos are great and very enjoyable but the ordering seems odd. Could we not have had pre-war Prefects followed by post-war Prefects to more easily see the differences ?
I also remember an upright Ford like the two door Anglias but they had straight radiators not sloped and which were squarer rather than ovoid. Are there any of those left to photograph ?
Hi, thanks for watching, the order was dictated by the order I found them in my files of photos. As for the Anglias you refer to, was it the E04A Anglia? like those on this page of my site: www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/ford-e04a.htm
@@oldclassiccarUK Hello. Thank you for your reply. I looked up your link and yes these photos are of the design of front that I meant. The FORD model numbers are not easy to remember but perhaps that is part of the hobby.
How about some pics of the Standard flying 8 and 10 post war.
A few photos of pre- and post-war Flying 8s will be included in a future upload
This video took me back a few years. My grandparents had a grey 1936 Ford 10 de-lux in Birkenhead from new until it dropped sometime in the late 50's. Didn't know it was called a CX. Reg was BG4299. Also in the late 60's I worked for Croydon Council and they had 2 103E pops in the car pool. If you drew the short straw getting them going on a cold Monday morning was fun. Needed two hands to start one on choke the other on the starter and praying for the hissing roar if you were lucky. Fond memories.
Thanks for your comments, if you've not seen it maybe have a look at the on-board video I did a few days ago in our old 52 Anglia, it should remind you of the 103Es even more!
Very nice collection of photos, thank you for sharing them. I think the car at 3:45 is actually a Popular, despite all the chrome bits including the bumper you referred to. It has the smaller Pop style lights and single wiper mounted above the screen, whereas the Anglias had twin wipers mounted under the windscreen. My dad had an early Pop (1953 - HCT 395) about 40 years ago and that had some of the chrome bits on it that were left over from the Anglias.
Yes it could be an early Pop with the opening scuttle vents, dolled-up to look a little like an Anglia
Great thank you, lovely to see all the variety of cars Ford made ,kept the country motoring ,brought back many memories of Dad. and myself as a young lad.
Yes driveways up and down the country used to be occupied by cars with their bonnets raised at the weekend, tinkering taking place
I have never had one but would love to find an anglia
The CX at 1.13, any idea what car this is, a reg would be useful, could possible be the one sitting in my garage
Alas there were no reg. plates on it, sorry
When I was six my best friend Paul's mother had a Y- or Ford Eight as we called it- I can remember being in it going to a park and he and me filled the back up with peanut shells! She tried to give it to my Dad- who could not drive but I assume now it had failed the new MOT, so it was probably scrapped! One of the local dairies, called Ellis & Heading, the other was Ellis & Charing ( Welshmen were often in the dairy business back then) delivered up our road with a Fordson- but it had a semi-open back- a flat bed for the milk crates to be stacked on but also a roof.
Interesting, years ago I stumbled across a Ford E83W milk float similar to the one you described
@@oldclassiccarUK I don't think where we lived was in the United Dairies empire, so we had these small local dairies- it was also very hilly being on the Chiltern escarpment, so we did not have electric milk floats. There were probably common in the town- which was Reading, back then. There's a new town there now that I don't recognise! The Ford was blue and cream from memory.
The Ford 7 W Ten model car at 4:54 (and also I think at 14:14) was the same model that one of my 2x great uncles had. He lived near Boston in Lincolnshire, and the reg of his car was AFW 178. I know this from doing a bit of family history research on the British Newspaper Archive.
In an article on there from Saturday the 24th of December 1949, it told that Harold Gibson had his car stolen the previous Saturday night outside Boston Indoor Bowls Club where he was bowling. He had not long retired from 30 years in the Police force. The article said his car was eleven years old when it was stolen.
He borrowed a car because somebody said they had seen a car which may have been his at a gateway in New York (near Conningsby). But there was no sign of it, and the car he burrowed broke down on the way back. He had to get a taxi to tow him back.
He only recently had a new engine, steering and mudguards fitted at a cost of £60, which was a lot of money in 1949.

Thank you.
I have a nnice looking 1933 Ford Model Y Cairn Drophead Coupe by Salmson & Sons. The only one in Germany
My first commercial vehicle as a e83 van , always remember the reg, letters PUM ??? anybody know when and where it would be registered,
PUM would have been a Leeds registration, the series came into being in Oct 1952, see www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/registrations/um.htm
