Yeah autochokes came a bit earlier on 1.3, around A reg. Then the 1.05 got autochokes around mid C reg

I reckon the earlier ones were actually better too, far better rustproofing!
yeah you can say that again! i had to get a wing off one in the scrappy! we were hours digging out the bolts through all the wax! not a spot of rust!
The earlier ones are semi galved.
