Ford 7Y
Template:Refimprove Template:Infobox automobile
Ford 7Y is a car built by Ford UK from 1938 until 1939. During that time 65,098 cars were produced.
The car was officially marketed as a Ford Eight, and was a rebodied and slightly larger version of the Model Y. The car was powered by a Template:Cvt 8 hp (RAC horsepower) Ford sidevalve engine.
A minor facelift, unveiled in September 1939,<ref name=Autocar1971>Template:Cite magazine</ref> resulted in the first Anglia.
The car sported some unusual features such as openable rear windows that were located in the main body work as this was only a two-door vehicle. A rear wheel cover was available on the de-luxe models with the standard version also having a recess in the rear bodywork to accept the spare wheel, albeit not covered. The storage of the spare wheel in this manner mimics the styling of the V8 Pilot. The 7Y was also the last model to be fitted with a 'kink' in the front bumper before the simpler straight bumpers were introduced on the Anglia (E04A). The 'kink' and accompanying opening in the bottom of the grille allowed for starting the engine with a hand crank.
