Magical Harry Potter

Ford Anglia 105E ‘Flying Car’

Celebrating Lou's birthday we booked a tour at the Warner Brothers Studio  (Leavesden) to experience Harry Potter World. I loved it!!

Lou and I have been visiting places and doing things together [some a bit mad and not to be dwelled upon] for 42 years. That's a scary number isn't it?  However, I like to think that we are still enjoying these events and "creating memories" as much as when we were eleven years old!

Certainly, Lou's daughter (our  trip organiser and chauffeur for the  day) was very patient waiting for us to have our turn in the Flying Car!

​In real life, the National Motor Museum reports:  "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.
​
This Anglia was used during the filming of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. It was stolen in 2005 but was later recovered after being dumped by the thieves probably due to the media interest surrounding the car."
