Welcome from Wales.
Does the car come with a folder showing history of services, work done etc? Many owners keep good records of everything.
19mpg is a bit low, suggesting likely upgrades for competitions. The manifold and webers are clues. I have a 2002 Gems 4litre Plus8 and get 30mpg unless going somewhere faster! I’d have thought mid to upper 20’s for a carb version to be more normal.
One Plus8 owner I have met a few times has a John Eales prepared V8 with slightly bigger bores, new cam, carbs etc ( a well known race engine tuner). He gets 15mpg!
