About this deal

Among the 896 pieces that make up the set are also the Minifigures Harry, Ron, Hermione, Hagrid and Draco as well as another sidebuild next to the hut. The set will be released for 74.99. In a deleted scene from the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Ron says that the Forbidden Forest has turned the car wild. He made a similar statement in the book. It is believed that the vehicle could not have been driven therefore it is suspected that it would have to have been towed or lifted from the scene." Still in America, Sports Cars Illustrated magazine lived with an Anglia for a month and found that the new styling “excited admiration everywhere”.

Rowling provided a deleted draft to the Harry Potter: A History of Magic exhibition for Harry and Ron's original crashing of the Ford Anglia in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. They were originally going to crash into the Great Lake instead of the Whomping Willow and encounter Merpeople for the first time. [12] J. K. Rowling said in 1999 that it was supposed to reappear in a future book. It is unknown what became of this. [7] Upon their return to the Burrow, Mrs Weasley was furious with her sons for taking the car but placed no blame on Harry. The next morning, at breakfast, Mrs Weasley told Mr Weasley what the boys had done, and, startled, he began to ask how it went before hastily switching to a reprimand at a look from his wife. He tried to excuse the car by referring to a loophole in the law regarding ownership of charmed objects, but Molly noted that he wrote that law intentionally making sure that there was a loophole which legally allows him to charm Muggle objects. [2] Steering is described as light but “rather dead”, with faint understeer until pronounced body roll induces oversteer, while the “soft, comfortable suspension” affords excellent control.

With development work on the all-new Ford Escort well under way, the ageing Anglia headed into its twilight years at the height of the Swinging Sixties. Inside, leather was an option for the new moulded pvc seats, while carpets replaced moulded rubber, a cigarette lighter, screen washers and twin horns were standard along with an upgraded heater. The turquoise car itself is famous around the world so it seems surrealist that it was even in Cornwall in the first place.

This engine has a surprising amount of ‘bite’, and provided the gearbox is used the car is very brisk away from a standstill and nips through traffic in an impressive manner,” according to the road tester. In the Muggle world Ford’s new Anglia model was overshadowed by the Mini when it was launched at the 1959 Motor Show but went on to be a sales success with over a million of the 105E and more powerful 123E being built before production ended in 1967. In 1963 the production line was moved from Dagenham to a new factory at Halewood on Merseyside. The sprint, if such a term is even appropriate, to 70mph was cut dramatically from 51.5 seconds to 33.4 seconds, with Autocar reporting in December 1962 that “for motorway cruising 75mph is maintained happily with very little engine noise”, returning 28mpg at such speeds, touching 40mpg at slower cruising speeds.

The Anglia was going up in the world, however – a second windscreen wiper was added at no extra cost! Rowling said: “That turquoise and white car meant freedom and no more having to ask my father to give me lifts, which is the worst thing about living in the countryside when you are a teenager. In total there will be 7 new sets in the first half of the year, all of which will be released on March 1st. Flying Ford Anglia (76424)
