Hello ladies and gents.
My dad has just given me this Ford Fieldmouse. We think around 1952/1954 Ford Pop running gear 2 seater off road looking thing.
I have very little information on this vehicle and even when I do a search nothing comes up.
I have a bit of information from the 90's which states there are 2 or 3 of these about but I can't seem to find anything else.
Hopefully I can get the picture up of it.
Does anyone know anything about them?
Any info would be great.
Thank you
Chris

Do you have any photos of the engine and transmission?

Thanks Rick I can get some on here tomorrow. Believe it's the 1200cc engine with 3 speed box. |

The engine might be the 1172cc sidevalve.
If on a Ford Pop chassis [shortened?] it may be the ''10hp'' version....does it have a water pump?
Does the Ford E83W have 16 inch wheels?
I understood them to have 18 inch wheels...?
Prefect had 16 inchers..to lower gearing as the bodies were heavier.
Either way, academic.
Reminds me a bit of the New Zealand Duzgo, to look at?
Edit..found this
