as far as i know, u can get the K&N for all models excluding the 1.0 and the single point injection models (1.2/1.4 mk2 ), green make a filter for the SPi's but ive never seen anything for the 1.0

will a 1.2/1.3 carb and inlet fit the 1.0???

if it could be made to fit then u could get one to fit it

the inlet manifold is completely different design on 1litre

the only thing i would think you could do is get a 1.2 replacement k&n pannel filter - like a circle hoop shape - looks like what you got in allready in the dustin bin lid air filter,

and then drill out the bottom of your airbox

that MAY give you a bit better - how can i put this, not much performance, but may become bit more resposive and a bit livelier.

it should also give it a bit more grunt.

according to haynes, the 1.0 carb model is fitted with a weber 32tl, ring Demon Tweaks, they might have an old listing.

I can't imagine the fitment will improve things much, but then I've not really done much driving in a 1.0 Nova (less than 100 miles mostly motorway)

I've got a circle K&N, which will fit a 1.0, I doubt you'll get any benifits, I only get a better noise on my 1.4
