Overview of 1948 Ford Anglia Restomod Supercharged For Sale by Owner

During the mid-20th century, Henry Ford’s company was making waves on both sides of the Atlantic, but with very different philosophies. While American Fords became synonymous with large bodies and brawny V8 power, Ford of Britain focused on compact, family-oriented cars suited to narrower roads and different driving needs. Among the most iconic of these small British Fords was the Anglia, a nameplate that spanned multiple generations from the 1930s through the 1960s. Although the later 105E Anglia is the most widely recognized today due to its pop-culture presence, earlier Anglias played an equally important role in automotive history. This 1948 Ford Anglia Restomod, originating from the first generation and now offered out of Temecula, California, reinterprets that humble British economy car through the lens of American hot rodding. Retaining its classic proportions while undergoing a comprehensive transformation, it combines vintage Anglia character with a 350ci V8, an automatic transmission, and modern conveniences, resulting in a distinctive cross-continental blend of history, performance, and custom craftsmanship.

Exterior and Interior

The all-steel sedan body of this 1948 Ford Anglia Restomod is finished in deep black Deltron paint highlighted by purple pearl accents, applied by Hots Rods & Custom Stuff of Escondido, California. The finish emphasizes the rounded fenders and upright profile that make the Anglia instantly recognizable, while polished aluminum wheels and a forward-raked stance give it a classic hot rod attitude. Inside, the cabin features a professionally trimmed light gray and purple leather and tweed interior by Ron Mangus of Custom Auto Interiors, creating a high-contrast, period-correct look that balances comfort with show-quality presentation. Custom gauges, a clean dashboard layout, and a thoughtfully integrated audio system complete the interior.

Engine

Power comes from a 350ci Chevrolet V8 equipped with a BDS roots-style supercharger and dual 4-barrel carburetors, delivering aggressive throttle response and unmistakable visual impact. The engine is paired with a Turbo 400 three-speed automatic transmission, sending power to a Ford 9-inch rear end fitted with 4.11 gears for strong acceleration. A side-exit dual exhaust system reinforces the car’s performance-oriented nature, while the overall drivetrain and chassis configuration reflect a well-sorted hot rod built for both show presence and serious street performance.
