    Yes Daniel, that is very much what I had assumed. Particularly as I have never heard of a 997cc capacity configuration of any in-line A series. But the fact I have never come across such a thing, isnt a very robust test! There are some very surprising set ups engineered as one-offs around the world!

    The engine size on the V5 was whatever the owner decided to put on it and the DVLC (or whatever at that time the vehicle licensing body was called) accepted.

    My old Mini, long since scrapped, had some very dubious entries on its log book in respect of engine size and engine numbers, made by one of its former owners. . .

    Thanks David (s) very comprehensive, and very helpful.

    I am still intrigued by the V5 entry of 997. Just an error, or intentional? Surely there was never an in line engine with the Cooper S style longer throw crank?

    From my cars I just think that most of the other difference on original cars, brakes, steering, engine power, front suspension is all pretty well determined or can be modified by choice. But the rear suspension difference between 1/4 and 1/2 eliptics is harder to alter and yet has a very significant feeling to the use of the cars day to day. That, and the hood arrangement are the big differences. ...

    Good find, David.

    Afternoon all.
    I have this QuickJack BL-3500SLX hydraulic lifting system. With the MGA it’s possible to place the two rubber pads, each side, as far apart as is possible, which is to the front and rear just before the side chassis members begin to curve inwards and become unusable for lifting purposes. This results, as shown, in the two side lifting points being about 1 metre apart, the max...

    ..from Terry Horler's book" MG/A-H Midget/Sprite"...

  • Mike Howlett10 October 2024

    Yes of course, the quarter elliptic springs will be much harder - I hadn't thought of that. I think you are right Anam, the mk2 Sprite will have the same rear springs.
