wasnt the swing a single point injection instead of carb, or is that a different model?

SR had colour coding and rear spoiler, sports seats and the SR trim on the out side.,
1.4 merit has normal mk2 seats, dails. 1.4merit is like a 1.2 with a 1.4 engine, under bonnet looks the same :)

so no real difference in the engine department... sweet

cus I found a quote for a 1.4L nova that's 200 squid cheaper than the SR, then I can just fit SR bodykit or GSI bodykit without bumping up the insurance :D

How to get a SR cheaper... :P

yeah but alot of the SR's came with CR boxes and the 1.4SR had a better cam and exhaust

the sr cam is the same as the "regular" 1.4 cam

as is the exhaust and carb.

the sr is only really different by interior.

and suspension

the reason it was cheaper insurance is due to to the following facts:

1.3L
1.3GL? (early one?)
1.3SR

same engine same insurance group 5, differernt interiors etc

1.4L (this is a mk1 carb model)
1.4SR

Both same engines the L is inusrance group 6, the SR is 7 (dont know why so dont ask) Again interiors different

1.4 SPI

different story but thats mk2 and ill leave that to sum1 else

i had a 1.3 l and that was same engine, exhuast, carb etc as the SR. sr had better gearbox

on the 13/1400 sr all they had better in the performance department was different gearbox / suspention
