Geoff:
(1) If Arthur Weasley can adapt the inside of the car as a TARDIS, 
why can't he create the whole body?

(2) Failing that, the Ford Anglia went out of production in 1969 or 
thereabouts. There are very few still around. He could more easily 
have found the remains of a much newer car and used that.

(3) I always say to my friends that if they mis-spell my Christian 
name as the American version, they are cut off my Christmas card 
list.
