  HSL313 Hazel Green was born in April 1960.

  First Registered as UDL 451.

  Her first owner was a Mr S Cox of Wootton on the Isle of Wight.

  She is a Ford Prefect 107E with an overhead valve engine and a four speed gearbox -
  a Compact 4 door saloon.

  Colour: Green

  Chassis number: 105E 130661

  Engine number: 105E 130661

  Cubic capacity: 997cc

  Number of keepers: 9 since first registration.


  She replaced the old 1,172cc side valve engine, 3 speed model - to many people
  she is like an old friend.

  Without drastic change to the appearance she reminds people of the Anglia, Prefect
  and Popular of the early 1950s.

  The sales literature of the day said that 4 adults can genuinely be seated. However,
  passengers in the back should make sure that the front seats are slid fully forward.

  When new she cost £621 12s 6d (£621.72p) as a basic model. A heater was an
  optional extra which cost £9 10s (£9.50p), which she had when supplied.

  Her length is 12ft 6ins; her weight unladen is 15.75 cwts, with a wheelbase of 7ft 3ins.

  She has a 997cc engine which has a maximum speed of 72.9mph, with an acceleration
  of 0 - 50 in 16.6 seconds.
