Description
The Ford Pilot Model E71A was built by Ford UK from August 1947 to 1951.
During the period of manufacture 22,155 cars were produced. The Pilot was the first large post-war British Ford.
It was based on the pre-war 22 hp Model 62 , and was initially offered with the 2227 cc side-valve engine. These initial engines were Canadian-made surplus stock from wartime production of Bren gun carriers.
The engine was soon replaced, and most Pilots were fitted with a 3622 cc, 90 hp flathead V8 engine, having a stroke of 92.25 mm and bore of 79 mm with single Solex carburettor.
This engine was also used in Thames trucks.
