Hmm, interesting.... I just bought a new oil filter for Daffy. On the box, it
lists the various cars it fits, including, naturally, the Spit 1500, and the
MG Midget 1500. However, it lists the Spitfire as a 53 kW (i.e. 71 bhp)
engine, but the Midget as 48 kW (i.e. 64 bhp), even mentioning that it is a
Triumph engine. I always assumed that the same tune was used in both engines,
but maybe not? Does anyone know why the Midget was down on power compared to
the Spit?
Remember - UK spec in both cases.
