Inline 6-cylinder engine?
yes! (as far as I understand), but was later changed for another motor.
Was the six from the subsidiary of a US brand?
woodinsight gave the answer to that question.
You hadn't previously said which part of his answer was correct. You still haven't ;)

But you should know which part is correct after my reply!? Only wanted to give another clue.
It's not a Jewitt Holden, but it was first equipped with a Holden motor. Later it got a rather plain engine, quite exotic for cars of that kind.

My source gives a year but doesn't mention a particular event.
It's Pegasus, built by Bob Annear. The Holden unit was swapped later on for a Peugeot engine. Puzzle picture taken in 1960.
Yes, again supernatural Wendax wins the point.
But as I told before it can help to find another...

Naw, superheroes don't like cars

Had a hospital appointment this afternoon and had no time to reply.
Anyway well done Wendax and thanks for keeping me on my toes!

I don't know what engine is fitted in the puzzle photo, but the car started life with a Holden engine, yes.
was it originally Merv Dudley's BRM Morgan, built by Bill Richards, and rebuilt as the Repco-Holden Spl.

Sorry, but no. I think we've probably had the Repco-Holden before.

I don't know. Sorry.
(I have just discovered that this car has been a previous puzzle. It didn't register the first time I did a search, but it's there now! Maybe this will make it easier to identify)

That's the one. Well found. I don't know which engine is fitted at the time of this photo!
Another point for you, and I'll merge the puzzles. The search facility of AP is surely a mysterious thing.
Thanks for my 651st point !
