When washers first became mandatory for all cars (Whether already fitted or not) that was the standard upgrade kit. I remember helping a mate fit one to a Mk1 Cortina.
I had a few cars with manual pump washers, back then only the more expensive ones came with electric units. The first car I travelled in with an electric pump was a funeral car when the old man popped his clogs in '77. I thought it was ever so posh.
