Twin-cam MGAs and all MGA coupes, regardless of engine type, were imported CBU (Completely Built Up)." - http://bmcexperience.com.au/bmce-issue8/mga-in-australia.html . This one has July 59+ rear lights - /vehicle_996117-Ford-Falcon-XK-1961.html so 1600, although seems Aus hung onto the earlier small front sidelights.
