At least one JAG was MG-based.

One JAG was Coventry-Climax powered, but I wouldn't have thought this was that one. Is it?

V8 3600cc is what Georgano says...

That is the Ford V8 engine of the repost mentioned above.

Yes, in Georgano's it's reported Ford V8.
I think this is what your source claims too:

I've just found reference to a car built by John Griffiths which had a supercharged Riley engine (presumably 1100cc or 1500cc). Can this be the answer?

Did the JAG have a Buckler tubular chassis?

John A. Griffiths was the owner and builder of J.A.G. cars. You have me confused  ???

Anyway - you say it's not Ford V8 or 10hp engined, nor MG, Coventry-Climax or Riley engined. I cannot find any reference to JAG cars which were fitted with anything else.

I therefore assume that this particular car has been re-engined at a later date, and that means almost anything could be under the bonnet. Is it a Mercury (aka Ford) engine?

The wheels make me think this car is a fairly mundane car - is it a mass-produced British family saloon?
