Additional Notes

  • The Ford Anglia 100E (1953-1959) carries a cooling system capacity of 6.82 liters, a figure shared across all 100E-based models in this range, including the Escort, Popular, Prefect, and Squire variants of the same era.
  • With the introduction of the 105E engine in the Anglia (1959-1967), the cooling system capacity dropped to 5.82 liters, reflecting the smaller displacement and revised engine architecture of the overhead-valve unit that replaced the older side-valve design.
  • The Anglia Super 123E (1962-1967) and the Anglia Torino 105E (1965-1967) both share the 5.82-liter cooling system capacity, aligning with the 105E-based specification despite being distinct trim and market variants.
  • The Thames 300E (1954-1961) retains the 6.82-liter cooling system capacity associated with the 100E engine family, consistent with the van body style requiring the same powertrain cooling demands as the passenger car derivatives.
  • Thames van variants on the later 307E/308E (1961-1967) and 309E/310E (1962-1967) platforms both specify a 5.82-liter cooling system capacity, matching the reduced figure seen when the newer engine generation was adopted across the range.
  • All specifications across the eleven listed configurations are designated for normal use conditions, meaning the capacities reflect standard operating environments rather than severe-duty or high-temperature service scenarios.
  • The 1.00-liter difference between the 6.82-liter and 5.82-liter cooling system capacities marks a clear boundary between the older side-valve 100E engine family and the more modern overhead-valve engines introduced from 1959 onward across both passenger and commercial variants.
