Ford - Ford Prefect
The Ford Prefect was produced from 1945, known as the E93A using their already existing 1172cc engine, which was replaced by the Prefect E493A in 1948, with the E493A remaining in production to 1948.
The next Ford Prefect known as the 100E was the up to date looking 4 door Ford that was introduced alongside the new Anglia 100E in 1953, both of these 100E models staying in production into 1959 After this the Ford Prefect 105E was fitted with the 997cc engine which now had the overhead valve design. This later Prefect 105E was produced until 1959, because Ford needed a small 4 door model available in the showrooms until such time as the next model replacement Consul became available.
Tyre sizes for the Ford Prefect:
- Ford Prefect E93A and Prefect E493A tyre size was originally listed 5.00x16.
- Ford Prefect 100E and Prefect 105E tyre size was originally 5.20x13, and the radial equivalent size of this cross ply size is 145R13, which was also specified for the Prefect in period tyre brochures. The steel belted Blockley 145R13 tyre is the tallest and most correct tyre of any brand available, and therefore as close as can be to the original cross ply diameter used on the Ford Prefect. And as with all the range of Blockley radial tyres, we guarantee that
they will be the best tyres you have ever driven on - or your money back! See full details of this 145R13 tyre below:
