My old man eyesight can't really see all the detail. Is it British ?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

fromwien

It's not british, but, if you will be so kind and tell me, which detail you need to see in better quality, I will try to zoom out this part of the car as best as possible

nicanary

I was trying to see more detail of the engine to work out what formula it might be.

Thank you for your help. Is it a Maserati engine?

It's got four rampipes for the carbs and four exhaust pipes. I can't decide how many cylinders - is it more than 4 cylinders?
