The Oxford Diecast Ford Popular 103E in blue is a detailed 1:76 scale diecast model of one of Britain's best-known classic cars.
When production of the older Ford Anglia and Ford Prefect ended in 1953, the Popular was introduced as a budget alternative. Based on the pre-war style E494A Anglia, it was designed as an affordable and practical car, costing under £400 including tax and becoming the lowest-priced car available at the time.
Powered by Ford's Sidevalve 1172cc four-cylinder engine producing 30bhp, the Ford Popular had a top speed of around 60mph and achieved approximately 36mpg. Built with simplicity and affordability in mind, it featured a single vacuum-powered windscreen wiper, no heater, vinyl trim and minimal chrome detailing.
With over 150,000 examples produced, the Ford Popular has become a popular classic vehicle among collectors. Oxford Diecast has recreated this iconic car in 1:76 scale, finished in blue with realistic detailing that makes it ideal for collectors, display models and OO gauge model railway layouts.
