Harry Potter Ford Anglia car stolen
Published October 29th, 2005
One of the world’s most famous cars, the turquoise Ford Anglia used in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, has been stolen from outside a Cornwall film studio.
Devon and Cornwall police said they were keeping an open mind about whether the car was stolen to order for a collector, or was taken by an opportunistic thief. PC Terry Hodgson said the car had been parked at the side of the road under a tarpaulin for around a year.
But the crime has puzzled film memorabilia experts, who say it will be impossible to sell the 1962 Anglia to a film collector on the open market.
Ted Owen, of Cooperowen, the largest film and rock music auctioneers in the world, said there was a huge demand for Potter memorabilia.
