Good guess, but not that car, I'm afraid.

500 cc engine ?

You would think so, but in this instance, no it isn't.

(This car may well have been fitted with a 500cc engine at some time in its life, but I don't know for sure.)

Not an engine from a member of BMC, not from Australia, and not a JAP 1100cc, although that displacement is getting nearer to the answer.

Wow! Some very varied questions and solutions here.

Not a Hillman engine  (if you look at the photo there is a very large sprocket for chain drive), not from Scandinavia (it's already established that this is a British engine in a French chassis) but it is indeed a Vincent engine!

Well, actually not QUITE a Vincent, but it is in effect that make. I'm going to be helpful and LOCK this puzzle for D-type. This car is quite obscure, and this is the only photo I could find which shows it in one piece.

No more clues. LOCKED for 24 hours.

Would that be an HRD engine?

Please unlock it as I have zero knowledge of obscure French rear engined racing cars.
