Was that the early 16v with the 150(?) bhp engine? Don't think we had those in auto form here though.

From memory the one I checked out carefully, had the two part metal cam covers - sign of the earlier motor to me.

I've never quite come to grips with what creates the apparently different power levels between these motors and later engines. Both seem to drive similarly to me.
