Actually, it is a development of the ford kent engine that dates back to the Anglia of 1959, although most of it has had some extensive redesigns since, it is still the same basic design. I remember looking at a Ford Ka when it first came out and having a distinct feeling of deja vu when it first started up; it still sounded like my 20-odd year old fiesta 1.1L. The Ka uses a 1.3L OHV version with electronic ignition and fuel injection (early cars might have carbs but I can't remember).
