Its purity of style and eager handling meant that the original 'Duetto' Spider became hugely trendy after its launch in 1966. Its image was boosted further when a young Dustin Hoffman drove one in The Graduate.
The Ford Anglia Super featured successful use of relatively large engine in a small car. Over-square 4-cylinder engine front mounted driving the rear wheels through an all-synchromesh 4-speed gearbox. Independent front suspension by coil springs and MacPherson struts; anti-roll bar. Live axle on half eliptic leaf springs at rear. Recirculating ball steering. Drum brakes. Two door four seater. Exterior: Baked enamel paintwork, electrocoated primer, chrome stainless steel and aluminium trim. Interior: Carpets, spring and foam seats covered with P.V.C., P.V.C. headlining, P.V.C. covered padded medal facia, P.V.C. door trim.
Sensational styling, a massively powerful V8 plus four-wheel drive and anti-lock brakes decades before they became commonplace mark the Interceptor FF out as something very special.
