Those used to be everywhere! That one is the entry-level version with the narrow grille (it probably didn't have a heater unless you ticked the options list) which gave them a good price point but only a few people bought that trim level which was no doubt what they wanted!
They were pretty decent cars, and rather better than the Anglia they replaced, which had an old-fashioned side-valve engine, three-speed gearbox and vacuum-operated wipers. This one (called the '105E' and all-new in 1959) was pretty quick for a 1-litre car back in the day - 120km/h (75mph).
I have known a few people with Anglias in my time but our family cars back then were Morris Minors.
