FORD PREFECT 100E

4-door saloon.

Mechanically the Anglia's twin, with unitary construction, hydraulic brakes etc, and using the same 87-in wheelbase, which makes for rather narrow doors. Convex, vertical-barred grille identifies it from the front. Some Anglias and Prefects (1957-58) had 2-pedal drive: such systems usually best left alone, but probably only 50 such-equipped 100Es made. Facelifts in October '57 for both Anglia and Prefect, bringing in lattice grille on Anglia.
