Pretty sure Herald is correct but with Spitfire twin 1.25" SUs and (Sebring?) twin exhaust.
The last 5 seconds would be what would happen if I rebuilt a motor.

They're similar on the inside, but its like saying Gina Rinehart is basically Elle Macpherson.

.... only in the last Midgets though, thanks goodness. The previous A series, shared with Mini Cooper and Cooper S was way better than the Herald motor which had its origins in a 1950s Standard 10.
