Hello all

 

Last week i bougt my second mini, its a Rover mini Sprite carb. version (hif 38) from 1994. Becouse i imported it from a different country i must pay a certain tax and it depends on the emmisions CO2 (g/km). Becase they didnt find any data they inserted the maximum value and now i must pay the tax that is almost equivalent to the price of the mini i paid or i must bring them an original prove of the CO2 emmisions that my mine have.

Is here anyone of you that can find me this data? i would be very gratefull! thank you!

These are the limits for UK testing. On page 12 you can see that a 1994 car has limits of Carbon Monoxide (CO) 3.5% by volume and Hydrocarbon (HC) 0.12% by volume (1200ppm). Both measured at idle.

Obviously, this may may be different in Slovenia but it may help your case.

Compdoc thank you!

I would need the factory (rover mini) value, i think there must be somewhere, they fitted an open loop catalytic converter to reduce CO2 emmisions.

Mine Sprite was made in UK - Longbridge so this CO2 value must be the same . Please help me!

 

thank you

As a guide my car 1993 carburettor model sprite (catalytic converter removed and charcoal canister removed too)

Passed at 3.0%(limit being 3.5) CO, however minis are prone to being rich

got the answer;

"The only material we hold, relevant to your Mini, are sales brochures. Although these do list the technical specifications for the vehicle, they do not state emission figures. As a result we are unable to provide the information you are looking for. I personally do not think it will have survived in any form."

any other chance boys?
