Battery for 1957 Ford Anglia 100E - Eccles
Does anyone out there happen to have a battery catalogue modern or old (e.g. an old Lucas catalogue possibly from the '60s or '70s)? I need to find the battery code for a 1957 Ford Anglia 100E that I've just purchased (NOT to be confused with later, reverse window Harry Potter type). Or maybe someone just knows what will fit (it must have the round terminals; an old type Mini one would suffice but at just over 5 inches wide it's a little to narrow and needs packing out; I've got about 6.5 inches to play with - ooh err missus!). Any help or suggestions gratefully received - I was hoping to find such a catalogue on the web, but no luck so far (it's not easy deciding what to search for). Cheers in anticipation.

I used Lincon "Cold-Start" batteries back in the 50/60's-best batteries I've ever used.
