Midget Wheels (score: 1): Author: sgi!abingdon.wpd.sgi.com!sfisher@EDDIE.MIT.EDU (Scott Fisher); Date: Tue, 19 Dec 89 14:35:46 PST; Sorry for the wide distribution, I'm trying to get this to Phil Ethier who asked about Midget wheels. For a year or two in 1969-1970, MG (and I believe the Sprite followed suit) a special 5" "Paddy H; /html/british-cars/1989-12/msg00155.html (8,490 bytes)

Happy to. I've run across a guy who has two complete British Ford Cortina's, a '64 and a '65, with almost enough body part to build another shell.; /html/british-cars/1989-11/msg00002.html (11,502 bytes)

Engines (score: 1): Author: sgi!abingdon.wpd.sgi.com!sfisher@EDDIE.MIT.EDU (Scott Fisher); Date: Wed, 22 Nov 89 15:46:25 PST; Well, you *could* be confusing things from a very unflattering reporter's comments about the revised C-type engine that was used in the MGC. He said that it "appeared to have been designed for an ag; /html/british-cars/1989-11/msg00016.html (12,164 bytes)

The Big Healey went from a 2.6L 4 to a 2.6L six (that actually had a drop in performance, but an increase in smoothness). Then t; /html/british-cars/1989-11/msg00017.html (9,094 bytes)

Changing the timing, compression and carburetion, to me, are changes in tuning. These are the kind of changes made for competition, rul; /html/british-cars/1989-11/msg00027.html (10,550 bytes)
46. Re: Spriget 1275cc vs. Triumph 1296cc (score: 1): Author: sgi!abingdon.wpd.sgi.com!sfisher@EDDIE.MIT.EDU (Scott Fisher); Date: Mon, 27 Nov 89 15:18:49 PST; The 1275 is the largest version of the A Series engine. This began as an 803cc four in about 1950 and has gone through a number of displacements. It has been used in all kinds of vehicles from Austi; /html/british-cars/1989-11/msg00034.html (15,870 bytes)

Early Sprites have a very interesting rear suspension geometry that gives them a mild dose of roll-oversteer in stock trim -- four-wheel steering 1959-style.

48. Sprite bonnets (score: 1): Author: sgi!abingdon.wpd.sgi.com!sfisher@EDDIE.MIT.EDU (Scott Fisher); Date: Thu, 30 Nov 89 16:03:10 PST; Sounds like the Speedwell bonnet. Some friends of mine are reproducing these; they've gone to the trouble of making molds and body bucks off an original.
