it's the 1300 engine.
I agree they aren't the best for cornering. Found that one out the hard way (as you may re-call from some thread last Spring with my spitfire upside down)
difference is
Mark 3 = ££££££
Mark 4 = £

We started with Austin 7's (had an Ulster racer, still got a Ruby and an Opal) and now have a Daimler Dart SP250 - lovely car! Took it up the Kop Hill climb a couple of weeks back, great fun

if 5 spanner jobs are supposed the most difficult, I reckon I must be at a 6 spanner level...... In fact I'm sooo fookin good I manage to get stuff apart that isn't meant to be split apart, and get stuff on things that technically shouldn't be there! Even the Haynes manuals don't cover my level of 'in'competance!!!
I think haynes should have a Roman numerals type system where 5 spanners is actually abreviated to one hammer, then instead of six spanners it would be one hammer + spanner.....ten spanners would of course be an angle grinder!
