But no 8G19, as in 8G19RS23648?
Thanks to Alan, and to others who have convinced me that my Seven
very likely was outfitted with a BMC A-series engine by Lotus.
That makes me feel better about putting a 1275cc ex. Spridget in
it. Although not exactly original for a 1964 car, at least it's
of the right 'family'.
