looks like a 1.6 according to the black slats at the back
Ive heard varying opinions, but it seems that most prefer the 1.6.... as there isnt too much of a difference in performance. Is this true? My unlce once had the 1.6, and he loved it, really regretted it when he sold it

If my memory serves me right the 1.6 model weighed in at 875kg and the 1.9 model 905kg. So for the 15bhp extra in the 1.9 model you had a 30kg deficit, but more torque, a longer ratio gearbox for cruising, and rear disc brakes. These are the reasons I went for the 130bhp 1.9 model over the 115bhp 1.6 model.
