1993 sprite automatic

[astracass]

Hi all

I'm after some info about time line of the Mini Sprite Automatic , I bought a 1275 Sprite Automatic 1993 Carb no Catalytic Converter now I've just had some work done to it and been told that it should have a cat on it . Been told that it has the heat shield for the cat in place, so my question is did the sprite come without a cat in 1993

Thanks

It's my understanding that Carb Minis do not require a CAT for the MOT ! The MOT book goes a bit further and says that chassis numbers after a certain date do not require a CAT apparently this from the start of the MPi models.

There is also a caveat which throws this all in the bin which says "if a CAT was fitted from standard then it should be fitted" I have run quite a few SPi's and even MPi's without a CAT and never had an issue.

Check the MOT requirements if they apply to you. If it is unclear then post the applicable emissions specifications.
