Can someone tell me if the Sprint was ever offered with twin webers instead of the SU's. The reason I ask is there is a Sprint that maybe for sale soon which has twin webers on but my BC Canada car registration looks at original or factory options for the insurance program for collector cars.<br ...

Thanks I will check that out first as that is easier than taking the engine apart.<br>

Thanks again<br>

Alun thanks for the info I will check out the GT6 maybe I can get one here. As to the another supplier if you do get the info perhaps pass on.
