Considering that all mini literature talks about the 1098 in terms of the UK version, I thought we could create a 1098 thread purely based on the technical info and possible mods that can be effectively done to the South African version of the A series 1098.
I barely have enough knowledge to make myself dangerous so if some of the resident experts please contribute it would be much appreciated.
What I know:
Engine number prefix 10H - 1098cc
Block is the same as the 1275, with the same bore.
The SA 1100 has a shorter stroke to the 1275 (not sure what it is exactly)
Some other things that could be added:

Some other things that could be added:
- What standard SU carb the 1098 came out with
- Is their any potential with the SA 1098
- Performance upgrades to the 1098 in terms of ease and cost
- At what point is it time to move to a 1275
- Other tell tale signs that you have 1098 parts (Piston differences, conrods, anything else)
- The 1098 vs 1275 and which is better for your objective (Full race car vs daily driver)
