Product Information

A spokesperson for the police said: "For those who have not seen the Harry Potter films, this is the car that flies in the movie and is very well known.

The car has been stolen by his son Ron on a number of occasions. Once to rescue his friend Harry Potter from the Dursley’s house and once with Harry to return to Hogwarts after the gate to Platform 9¾ is sealed by Dobby. Considering they crash landed the car in the Whomping Willow when returning to Hogwarts, the car is in amazingly good condition. With the boathouse we'll get a Hogwarts modular set based on location we haven't yet seen made as a LEGO set (besides in the microscale Hogwarts Castle).This is the actual Ford Anglia 105E that was once owned by Arthur Weasley. It used to be a standard Ford Anglia until Mr Weasley enchanted it making it able to fly, become invisible to Muggles and to carry his entire family despite its modest size. The new engine, while still antiquated in concept, pumped out an improved 36bhp and propelled the Anglia to 70mph, passing 60mph in 29.4 seconds The Harry Potter crew had to use 16 different Ford Anglias for this scene alone. It is reported that 14 of them were destroyed. As before, however, they were still vacuum-operated and were notorious for slowing down, or even stopping, at higher speeds or when overtaking. Rowling provided a deleted draft to the Harry Potter: A History of Magic exhibition for Harry and Ron's original crashing of the Ford Anglia in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. They were originally going to crash into the Great Lake instead of the Whomping Willow and encounter Merpeople for the first time. [12]

The Anglia was a compact car manufactured by Ford UK from 1939-1967. The Anglia 105E was the fourth-generation of the badge, launched in 1959. All three body styles (saloon, rear hatch estate car, and windowless panel van) had just two passenger doors and a 90.5-inch wheelbase. The average Anglia weighed 1,624 lbs; power came from a 997 cc OHV inline-4 engine. Ford UK mated this engine to a four-speed transmission; new to the fourth-generation were synchros for the top three gears. When the The Wizarding World of Harry Potter opened in 2010, most of the invited actors arrived in the Knight Bus, but Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe arrived in the flying Ford Anglia. Inside, leather was an option for the new moulded pvc seats, while carpets replaced moulded rubber, a cigarette lighter, screen washers and twin horns were standard along with an upgraded heater. In addition to the boathouse section itself, which as said can be combined with the other Hogwarts modular sets, some boats are also said to be included. According to the rumors, the first of the new sets will be a model of the Flying Ford Anglia. The car will probably be similar to the version from the Privet Drive or Whomping Willow set shown in the picture above.Over in America, Motor Life magazine went so far as to say the new high-revving engine “can almost be called radical”, with its “extremely oversquare” dimensions and hollow, three-bearing crankshaft. We’d love to see a video of what came next – “a comic sketch wherein a confirmed Volkswagen enthusiast is introduced to the new Anglia and made to realise what a relatively inferior car the VW is when compared to the 1959 Ford”. Officers said the car could be seen from the road, and believed a Harry Potter fan or classic car enthusiast had moved it with a trailer as the car could not be driven, the BBC reported at the time. The Flying Ford Anglia is a turquoise automobile bought by Arthur Weasley for the purposes of taking it apart in his shed to see how it worked – at least, that’s the story he told Molly. In fact, in the process of dismantling and reassembling the car, he also bewitched it to be able to fly and installed an Invisibility Booster. He also magically expanded the inner spaces so that an enormous amount of luggage could fit in the boot and an amazing number of people could sit comfortably in its wide seats. In total there will be 7 new sets in the first half of the year, all of which will be released on March 1st. Flying Ford Anglia (76424)
