Very few powertrains have left their mark in history as being the driving force behind the entire country's automotive industry, but the humble BMC B series engine sure can wear that hat proudly.

While you had just 90hp to play with, the car makes for a hoot to drive, thanks to its light weight. Power is sent to the car's rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission. The current owner reports that the motor and transmission are matching numbers.
