The Ford Aglia 105E was launched in 1960 powered by a new over square, high reving OHV engine with a four speed transmission at last. Suspension was the same as the outgoing 100E.

Its American-influenced styling included a sweeping nose line, and on deluxe versions, a full-width slanted chrome grille in between prominent "eye" headlamps. (Basic Anglias featured a narrower, painted grille and a backward-slanted rear window (so that it would remain clear in rain, according to contemporary marketing claims). and muted tail fins. An Estate car joined the line up in September 1961.

The new styling was joined by something the smaller Fords had been needing for some time, a new engine – a 997 cc overhead valve (OHV) straight-four with an oversquare cylinder bore that became known as the "Kent". Acceleration from rest was still sluggish, but it was much improved from earlier cars. Also new for British Fords was a four-speed manual gearbox with synchromesh on the top three forward ratios:

 

There were just 104,000 standard Estate cars built from October 1961, the majority were use by reps and travelling salesman and had hard lives, reflected in how few have survived. This Estate is one of only four known to the Anglia Owners Club, remaining on the road today. Like the standard Saloon, the standard Estate lacked many of the refinements of the Deluxe Anglia, they lack chrome trim, a glove box cover, or carpets. The heater and temprature gauge were available only as an optional extra to the basic price of £ 679.

 

A small number of Estate got the 1172 cc engine of the 123E
