At the start of 1981, Epoch finally released the sports variant of the M10 model to the world, the Epoch M10 A14s. Featuring alloy wheels, flared arches, sports brakes, close-ratio gearbox, sports suspension, and the traditional “Bahama Yellow” and black paint scheme, the A14s definitely looked the part. The engine was based upon the fuel-injected unit in the A13, bored out to 1400cc (85cui), and was tuned for a more sporty and lively driving style. Output figures were increased to 55kW (74HP) and 96Nm (71lbf.ft), which led to a significant performance improvement, and dropped the 0-100km/h time down to 11.6 seconds. The price for this vehicle was still quite reasonable, coming in at $2,862 ($7,935 adjusted), making it a very popular option for those looking for a cheap fun car.
