==Anglia E494A (1949β1953)== {{Infobox automobile | name = Ford Anglia E494A | image = 1953 Ford Anglia E494A 930cc.jpg | caption = 1953 Ford Anglia E494A | production = 1949β1953<br />108,878 units<ref name=AZ1945 /> | engine = {{convert|933|cc|cid|abbr=on}} [[Straight-four engine|I4]] |transmission = 3 speed [[Manual transmission|manual]] | body_style = 2-door saloon<br />2-door [[panel van]] | height = {{convert|63|in|mm|0|abbr=on}}<ref name=Motor1948 /> | wheelbase = {{convert|90|in|mm|0|abbr=on}}<ref name=Motor1948 /> | length = {{convert|154|in|mm|0|abbr=on}}<ref name=Motor1948 /> | width = {{convert|57|in|mm|0|abbr=on}}<ref name=Motor1948 /> | related = [[Ford Popular 103E]] }} The 1949 model, code E494A, was a makeover of the previous model with a rather more 1940s-style front end, including the sloped, twin-lobed radiator grille. Again, it was a very spartan vehicle and in 1948, it was Britain's lowest-priced four-wheel car.<ref name=Motor1948 /> The [[Tax horsepower#UK|10 hp]], 1172 cc engine was again available in export markets; this model is called the E493OA.<ref name=Ballard_p64>[[#BBsmall|Ballard]], p. 64</ref> An Anglia tested by the British magazine ''[[The Motor (magazine)|The Motor]]'' in 1948 had a top speed of {{convert|57|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} and could accelerate from 0β{{convert|50|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} in 38.3 seconds. A fuel consumption of {{convert|36.2|mpgimp|L/100 km mpgus}} was recorded. The test car cost Β£309 including taxes.<ref name=Motor1948>{{cite journal |title=The Ford Anglia 8hp Road Test |journal=[[The Motor (magazine)|The Motor]] |date=27 October 1948}}</ref> Including all production, 108,878 were built. When production as an Anglia ceased in October 1953, it continued as the extremely basic [[Ford Popular]] until 1959. [[File:1953 Ford Anglia E494A 930cc Rear.jpg|thumb|left|Rear]] [[File:19XX Ford Van KLE950.jpg|thumb|left|Delivery vans based on the Anglia supported British commerce for several decades. These "commercial" versions often retained the mechanical components and front sections of superseded Anglia saloons.]] {{clear}} {{anchor|A49A}}
