POLLUTION CONTROL???? IN THE UK?????
Naw. Practically none on ANY UK cars before the late '80s.. That is why a
Morris Ital motor is so much more powerful than a stock MG MIdget. There
are no pollution control parts to remove from any Ital or Marina 1275 A+.
BL/BMC used converted Ital engines as factory recon units in the mid 80s. I
know someone who bought some from BL/BMC as Gold Seal units and had the
distributor and drive fitted to them when they arrived. Just fit the carbs
and the flywheel (still a Midget crank) and away you go. Don't know how
many of these were issued, but a German bought an Ital from me to replace
the Gold Seal A+ he had fitted many years ago.
