Ford Squire

Yes................
3 speed gearbox
side valve engine
Vacuum windscreen wipers
No heater unless bought as an extra!
0-60.........maybe😀
 
The Squire, Anglia, Prefect and popular all had the 100E side valve engine. Terrible in hot weather as carb was above the manifold and air locks woudl form in the fuel line. Otherwise quite a reliable car. 0-60 in 20sec.

And moisture could collect in the distributor cap and leads necessitating a trip to the oven as WD40 wasn’t invented then.

That was the next generation with overhead valve engine and not the side valve. The engines for both were very good and reliable and easy to fix for any DIY person. Basically spark plus rotor arm and you were away. LOL!
Now I open the bonnet, stare where I think the engine is under layers of covering and shut the bonnet as cannot connect my computer up to fix the car as the software is too expensive. LOL! 🤣
