I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section. feel free to move it.
I read in Mini world about painting your engine. and it spoke of A plus Yellow. were all A plus engine yellow? and are all yellow mini engines A plus?
Thank you

hmmm, I thought that originally they were all bmc green, then changed to yellow for A serries, then red for A+ and then the latter injection ones were just black.
I'm not entirely sure though so don't hold me to it.

Thinking about it that sounds about right, sorry to have mislead anyone.

Cool, Cheers guys, it is a 998. How can you tell the difference between the standards, A series and A plus?

A+ from 1983 onwards I think, Guessworks has a list somewhere on here about decoding your engine number, should tell you all you need to know.

Ah good plan. I've had a look using the search function, but couldn't find anything. Does anybody know where it is or could point me towards it?
Cheers

Mines a 998cc A+ standard engine and is in what I think is the original factory yellow paint.

The way to tell the difference between a A and a A+ is how the dizzy is mounted. Normal A's are bolted and A+ fit differently but its hard to describe. Someone should be able to tell you what I'm on about in a better way then I am. I was shown this only last week.
