Default OT - Which ?

Based on, not was.


So name the important differences.

At 30 bhp even this bargain basement sidevalve was as
powerful as the Beetle.


Heh heh. From an engine which was lucky to do 30,000 miles before a major
overhaul.

*In the text of the article it actually says "brakes were hydraulic
drums except on standard model 1200s which stayed mechanical until 1964".


The E103 Popular only ever had the one size engine. And never gained
hydraulic brakes.

I have no idea what the quote above refers to. The later 100E Popular had
hydraulic brakes.
