Thames 300E

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Thames 300E was a panel van produced by Ford of Britain from 1954 to 1961. [1]

The 300E was introduced in July 1954, based on the Ford Anglia/ Prefect 100E saloon range and it shared its front body panels and 1172cc sidevalve four cylinder engine with those models. Initially produced only as a single model with 5 cwt carrying capacity, the range was later expanded with the introduction of Standard and Deluxe 7 cwt variants. All three offered the same 66 cubic foot load volume. Production totalled 196,885 examples comprising 139,267 5 cwt, 10,056 Standard 7 cwt and 47,562 Deluxe 7 cwt units.[2]

300E production ended in April 1961 and its replacement, the Anglia 105E based Thames 307E, was introduced in June of the same year. [3]
