Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox automobile The Thames 307E is a small panel van launched by Ford UK in June 1961 [1] and based on the recently introduced Ford Anglia 105E. It replaced the Thames 300E and, like its predecessor [2] it was marketed as the Thames 5 cwt or the Thames 7 cwt van.[3][4] These names defined, in Imperial measurements, the recommended maximum load weights (approximately equivalent to 250 and 350 kg respectively) of the vehicles. Advertised load space was Шаблон:Convert including Шаблон:Convert beside the driver.[5]

The vans were introduced with a specially developed "commercial version" of the Anglia 105E engine, applying a compression ratio of 7.5:1 or, as an option, 8.9:1.[5] The four speed gear box also came from the latest Anglia.[5] The 5 and 7 cwt versions could be distinguished from the front by differing grill treatments. The base version had a grill of painted horizontal slats similar to that on the basic Anglia while the 7 cwt featured a full-width bright-meshed metal grill reminiscent of the Anglia deluxe.[5]

Left hand drive export versions of the 307E were designated Thames 308E.[6] The Anglia name was used for certain export markets.[7]

Thames 309E

From October 1962 the 5cwt and 7cwt vans were also offered with the 1198cc engine from the Ford Anglia Super and these were designated as Thames 309E.[8] Left hand drive export versions of the 309E were designated Thames 310E.[6]

Ford Anglia Van

In March 1965 the use of the Thames name was discontinued and from that time Anglia-based vans were marketed as Ford Anglia Vans.[8]

Production ended in November 1967 with a total of 205,001 vans having been produced.[8]
