As your strapline says, ask the man who owns one (well owned one). I had a 2½ Sports from 1959 so know the engine and knew that wasn't one in that car. Two Connaughts had that engine fitted and the high front wing line seemed right!

Sounds like you've had/have some very interesting cars in your stable over the years.
