Have a re-read of that Wikipedia quote. The Twin Cam was re-badged GT1600, not RS1600. The GT1600 maintained the Lotus twin cam engine, while the RS1600 had the Cosworth derived BDA.

I was under the impression that RS1600s were assembled by AVO where the GT1600 (twink) were a general factory build.

I'm 99% certain the fender badge said RS. But then I don't doubt Marks statements about the vehicle being Lotus powered.

It can't be both... (unless the owner swapped GT for RS badges)
