The Thames 307E is a small panel van launched by Ford UK in June 1961 and based on the recently introduced Ford Anglia 105E. It replaced the Thames 300E and, like its predecessor it was marketed as the Thames 5 cwt or the Thames 7 cwt van. These names defined, in Imperial measurements, the recommended maximum load weights of the vehicles. Advertised load space was 73 cubic feet (2,100 L) including 12 cubic feet (340 L) beside the driver.

From October 1962 the 5cwt and 7cwt vans were also offered with the 1198cc engine from the Ford Anglia Super and these were designated as Thames 309E. Left hand drive export versions of the 309E were designated Thames 310E. ==Ford Anglia Van==

In March 1965 the use of the Thames name was discontinued and from that time Anglia-based vans were marketed as Ford Anglia Vans. Production ended in November 1967 with a total of 205,001 vans having been produced. File:Ford Thames 7 cwt Anglia based reg 1961.JPG|Thames 307E 7 cwt Van.
