Initially, Ford did not offer an Estate version of the Ford Anglia 105E, so Friary Motors Ltd of Basingstoke took up the challenge. The conversion, launched in June 1961, took the basic saloon model and modified it into a hatchback calling it the “Ford New Anglia Touring Saloon.” The conversion process was taken over by associate company E.D Abbott Ltd of Farnham, Surrey, in 1962, who renamed the car the “Ford Anglia 105E Sports Sedan”. Ford officially released the Ford Anglia 105E Estate in September 1961.
Production of the Ford Anglia 105E Estate came to an end in November 1967, by which time 129,529 estates had been built.
