Yep. Spits came with an 1138cc and a 1500cc as far as I know. Had one,
never got it on the road. Gave it to my little brother when I went in
the AF and caused a 30 year disease with him. He still might own one.


If you were going to do a transplant though... why in the hell would
you put a MG motor in it?
