My Morris has the later 1275 CC 'A' series engine and is also peppy and rev happy .
My Metropolitan has a 'B' series engine , higher output and usually longer lasting than the 'A' . series .
In general, older British cars tend to be more engaging and fun to drive even if they're slower than other European cars .
Then there's the endless initial quality control issues each and every LBC comes from the factory with ~ once you go through and correct all the little mistakes made they're reliable and inexpen$ive to own and operate .

They differ like a sbc does from 265 ci to 400 ci. similar size and shape and a lot of interchangeability between them.
