Flying Ford Anglia
Assemble me. Buckle up for a magical flight!
Ugears is pleased to introduce a unique automotive model to Harry Potter fans—the Flying Ford Anglia, a car with a mind of its own. The Anglia is a faithful recreation of the Weasley's enchanted Muggle car. Who can forget the scene in “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” when Harry and Ron fly back to Hogwarts in the Anglia, lose control, and crash into the Whomping Willow? After a narrow escape, the young wizards and all their belongings get ejected by the car, upset at the abuse it has received.
The Ugears Flying Ford Anglia has a spring drive that transmits torque to the rear wheels. The car can travel 3-4 meters on a single wind-up of the ratchet mechanism located on the undercarriage. The front wheels rotate 25 degrees in either direction and can be turned using the steering wheel or by pressing the wheels themselves, allowing the car to travel in a straight line or turn circles. But here's where the real magic comes in: thanks to a special mechanism attached to the spring-loaded shaft running through the cabin, the Anglia has a secret "ejection" function. When the front license plate is pressed, the trunk and side doors pop open, while the tilting front seats and a lever in the trunk dramatically eject all passengers and contents from the vehicle.

- Spring-powered motor

Customer Reviews
This model is a good mid level challenge and well designed. I found some of the parts did not fit snugly and needed to be glued so they didn't fall off...ie front bumper, back license plate.
Several moving parts such as hood, trunk, doors, seats and turning front axles. I always prefer the spring motor to the rubber band models.
Bought this for my granddaughters partner He loves it!
A great idea to make the car not big compared to other models, it gave grace, the implementation of the suitcase ejection mechanism is very thoughtful, I played enough at the assembly stages, the developers are constantly surprising, well done guys. Channel Review Incredible Gears.
Not impressed. I had several pieces break and About 5 pieces that won't stay on. The car won't go so now it's just a show piece. Returning the other two sets I bought asap.
Fun build. Great design. Assembly of wheels not 100%. Plywood appeared to be extremely dry. Fitting the small pieces had a tendency to crack the holding areas. A suggestion to others would be to wax the pieces.
Shipping was really fast! It made it here even before the expected date! This was my first model and I was a little intimidated when I first opened the box. I have really enjoyed putting this together though! All the parts are labeled clearly, everything you need is included, and the instruction manual is easy to understand. Will absolutely be buying more!
