In the UK there is also a tax on car purchase that depends on engine displacement. I once had a Ford Anglia that was 999cc just to keep it under the 1.00 litre tax bracket.

The funniest thing about that engine was the 3-1/8" bore and 1-1/8" stroke. All valves individually ported. Developed 40 HP as shipped, put on dual Weber carbs and a Stebro exhaust system and she went to 60HP.
