    Cool Re: Spotted at the weekend

    What people might not know is that GM hedged its bets, producing the carburettor version for the UK, and a fuel injected version for German consumption.
    Tony Fall (ex works Mini driver) was the GM motorsport manager at the time, and later formed Safety Devices.
    Interestingly, the 'alternative' camshaft for both cars was so peaky that you had to machine the head, otherwise you ran into valve spring coil binding, which was a very quick way to a new engine!!!
