"On the show 1900 House, shown on PBS, they compared their range to a
ford anglia, as opposed to a Rolls Royce. What is a Ford Anglia?"

The Ford Anglia was a rather comical car, its most comical form being
popular in the 1960s. The 1900 family were basically referring to the
antithesis of a Rolls Royce. The Ford Anglia is universally held to be
the ugliest car ever made.

In CoS the Weasleys' flying car was a turquoise Ford Anglia (hence my
ID in case you'd been wondering!)

One of the pictures I posted in the Photos section is of the 1960s Ford
Anglia which JKR used for her 'surprise' entrance onto Platform 9 3/4
at the King's Cross Station launch of GoF, last Saturday.

Hope that explains it!
