I'm sure someone has the answer to this question at their fingertips.
What are the differences between a 1275 (12V ?) in a 1973 MG Midget and
a 1275 in a 1967 Sprite (12CC ?) ?  I have a friend who has a 1973 Midget,
and I'm curious about the potential for performance enhancement.  I'm
aware that the 1967 Sprite had a detuned Mini Cooper engine in it, but I
don't know how that differs from the later 1275.

BTW, are there any advantages/disadvantages to the 1971-1974 Midget with
round rear wheel arches?  The arches seem to be the only real differences
between this car and earlier (post-1967) Spridgets.
