Hey that's good to know...thanks for the info.
Now in an earlier post somebody siad this was not a
Triumph Spitfire engine, but from what I read on a
the MG enthusiasts club site:
http://www.mgcars.org.uk/midget.html
about the history of Midgets it
mentionned something about the 74 and on 1493cc engine
being Spitfire engines.
Same thing mentionned on this page:
ttp://www.mgcars.org.uk/midgetspriteclub/sprite/spritehistory.htm
And apparently that is why the change from engine #s in the form
12CG Da H101
to the form
FP...
Anyone care to confirm this?
Is this valid for my car and all further 1500s
