It first went on sale for £669, using a tuned version of the Austin A-Series engine and as many other components from existing cars as possible to keep costs down. When the Mk. II Sprite was introduced in 1961 it was joined by a badge-engineered MG version, the Midget, reviving a model name used by MG from the late 1920s through to the mid ...
Formula Libre was split up in Formula A for under-3-litre racing engines and Formula B for 1,6-litre production engines. Formula Junior was now replaced by Formula C for 1,1-litre racing engines. New cars were homologated for Production classes, including the new Porsche 911. Some other cars were reclassified, for example the Austin-Healey 100-6.
This multi-valve engine was the first modern dual overhead cam 4 valve per cylinder engine to be mass-produced on an assembly line.
