It was only a 4 speed too, and had OHV and a carb.
Gearing was ~19 MPH / 1000 in top, top wack was 82 if you were lucky, 0-60 in 18 seconds - you were more likely to run out of road than speed.

Do you know if the British Ford Escorts back in the day got good fuel mileage? Aside from the economy aspects, I really like the looks of them.
