The Anglia’s big styling hook was that reverse-raked rear window, and the whole brochure has been die-cut to resemble that. It’s very clever, and the art inside is spectacular. These were scanned by Howard Nourse, by the way, so thank you, Howard.
The art is that loose-and-tight midcentury style I’ve mentioned before, the graphic design is colorful and bold, the whole thing is just lovely. So, you know, enjoy. Here’s the scans of the whole thing. HERE–> https://netcareer54.blogspot.com/ Actually, I would have bought one BEFORE seeing this brochure. Yeah, I’m “over-square,” just like the Anglia’s “power unit.” IIRC, the style was not just Ford UK’s. I’ve seen brochures from BMC and Jaguar that used the same type of illustrations — slightly exaggerated perspective, almost-but-not-quite cartoony — and water-color-esque inks. And I wonder every time I see these Anglias, how bad the visibility was to the rear in light rain. Not that it ever rains in sunny Old Blighty 😉 Anyways, I love the opening and closing cover of the brochure “I’ve got a woody.” “He’s sporting wood.” “Hey, look at Woody and Buzz!” I can only remember one specific portfolio. It had Bo Derek and an equally buxom local in a hot springs in Japan. Off to Google. See you in half an hour or so.
