Does anyone know if dual carbs were an option for the 1100? I had one back in the day and it had two SU's but the few remaining ones that I have seen only have a single SU?
 
SU Carburetter Service Parts List (AKD 5036) from 1966 - Austin and Morris 1100s were all single carb:
  • AUD 13 (HS2) Austin 1100 and 1100 Mark II (all versions except Automatic)
  • AUD 185 (HS4) Austin 1100 Automatic
  • AUD 251 (HS4) Austin 1100 and 1100 Mark II Automatic (after engine 10AG/A/H158)
The MG 1100s were twin carb:
  • AUD 2 (HS2) MG 1100
  • AUD 69 (HS2) MG 1100 (after engine G-GS1-627)
The Riley Kestrel 1100s were twin carb (AUD 69).
 
Well that's interesting. Maybe it was actually an MG 1100 that I owned and not an "Austin"1100 ? Was there much difference in the two models? Mine was a 1966 model. Another thing I noticed about the 1100 that I was looking at the other day is it had a small blinker light on the end of the turn signal lever. I don't recall that in my car. I'm guessing that was an Austin thing along with the single carb.

I would think that a dual carb setup would be a bolt on modification to an Austin 1100. Our '64 Austin Mini has the same blinker light.
