Re: Engine number - what does the U mean
Thanks chaps, that what I remembered from way back.
I wonder what was NOT centre shift, unless its column shift.
Did older BMC cars have column shift ?

Re: Engine number - what does the U mean
Hi Colin
Just to confuse the issue this is taken from the transverse power unit parts book. Some interesting combinations there!
Some of the bigger BMC models had column change options - A60s, Oxfords, etc.
