The car is a turqoise 1962 Ford Anglia 105E. Author J.K. Rowling chose the car because her friend Sean, who Rowling admits seems to share a few characteristics with Ron Weasley, drove a turquoise Ford Angelia.

Ironically, the car used in the movie, which was undrivable, was stolen in late October 2005, but was later recovered. The car used in the film is currently on display in the Cars of the Stars Motor Museum in Keswick, England.
