Tibby Engine
#6
Certain Tibbies in other countries (notice the country of the posting person) came with smaller engines.
In 2000, the 1.6L was a BETA also. In 2003, tbe 1.6L is *reportedly* an ALPHA.

European Tibbies come with all Beta engines, regardless of size... 1.6/2.0 1st & 2nd gen but I have also heard that 2003 is running an 1.6 Alpha... Also heard that they are Turbocharging the 1.6 in Greece??? I am sure I saw that somewhere....
