Year?

MPI was 1996 onwards

Although My SPi was made in 1996, but they are easy to tell apart. when looking at the engine. Radiators in a different place for a start!

I still think if you want a carb just buy an older mini, without a cat

With an MPI the conversion is a whole lot more complicated, as you'll have to replave pretty much the entire contents of the engine bay, including the wiring loom
