Ford offered the Ford 7Y during 1938 and 1939, an English designed replacement of the Ford Model Y using many of its mechanics. The first Anglia was launched in 1939 as a development of the Ford 7Y 8hp. Given the identifier 'E04A' the pre-war cars had running boards which were deleted on postwar cars. The 933cc 8hp sidevalve engine from 7Y continued except for export markets that got the 1172cc unit. This was replaced in 1948 by the E494A Anglia which still used essentially the same body as the E04A Ford Anglia and gained the 1172cc sidevalve engine. These 1930s Anglias were replaced by 100E Anglia produced from 1953 to 1959.
