Yeah baffle plate and a 250ml overfill if I recall. Half way up sight glass when running and warm rather than an empty sight glass I think.

I have just bought a MNR Vortx with a R1 2201 motor, I would like to try the car but am worried that it might not have a sump baffle fitted .Is it ok
to just overfill sump as advised & give it a quick drive before I take sump off & investigate?

You should be ok. It only becomes an issue cornering hard.
