funny enough, i was scratching my head when i watched this program earlier this evening saying the first series of the 'bay' style type 2 busses had
50 hp!
the only justification i thought was maybe that was wheel hp instead of engine....

from memory the 1500 in the bay had a governor under the carby to stop the mullets from over revving the poor old girls with the reduction boxes.This
and I think a concave piston top gave a lower HP .I am not 100% sure of this though.

Type 1 powered Bay kombi's (available as an option right to the end) did have lower HP and single carb. It's all about torque curve in a kombi, not
power!!!
For the same reason the 2L type 4 motor in a kombi is much nicer to drive than the 1.8L despite it was only ~2HP more at 70hp. Torque across the range
was greatly improved though.
From my memory the rev limiter (different rotor) was aftermarket and not from new. Reduction boxes were splitties, pre '68, don't think Bay's had
the 1500, just the 1600.
