Special Saloons - the early cars (1965 - 1975ish!)
Can anybody remember this car?
It was a Ford 105E Anglia, which had had the body widened (!) by cutting it down the middle lengthways and new metal welded in. Oh, and it had a 3.8L Jaguar engine fitted - hence Janglia.
It was built, I think, by either Blair or Palmer of Blair & Palmer bus garages, Carlisle. I spotted it on top of one of their buses (just the shell) about 10 years ago, but wonder if it still exists.
Also interested in its contemporary history/success etc.
Thanks for any help!
