To quote further from the factory sheet's price list:

BT15-chassis: 1,400 Pounds
Cosworth MAE engine: 600 Pounds
Holbay R65 engine: 625 Pounds

Would be interesting to know how many were sold as bare chassis, and how many with each engine.

Furthermore, can anyone explain the main differences between the two engines? I assume the were both based on the Anglia block. Were the differences limited to modifications made to the head, or anything else?

The engine in my car wears a Holbay script on the valve cover, and the casting in the block says 109E6015 B.

Regards, Robert
