And yet another reason that I have heard is that, faced with the expense of
making two engines of similar application comply with the US emissions
nonsense, BMC decided to standardize on the larger of the two. At least the
Spitlump fit in the Midget and we didn't just sit and watch them go to
Canada like the Mini.
