Which engine? 444-544

The engine designation (B13, B16, etc) is cast into the left side of the engine block near the front. Should be just forward and above the fuel pump.

The European delivery cars had single carbs throughout, as well as many Canadian cars. You could also order the single carb setup if your car wasn't yet built.

Remember, in those years many Americans were used to single carbs, and a weird setup like dual S.U.'s would have been pretty intimidating.

I run the S.U.'s and I still get people asking how hard are they to keep adjusted, etc. Apparently the undeserved reputation continues!

I particularly like the looks of the PV444, with the two-piece windshield, nicer trim, and especially the REAL speedometer, plus the Banjo steering wheel.

All-in-all, I'd snap up a PV444 in fair shape for $900!
