A Berliet motor mystery. ( upd. the only Berliet 2,5 litre?)

• 

Jim Fairchild is "Mr. Berliet Australia". He owns no less than five Berliet cars. He is into collecting and restoring the products of Lyon for many decades. And from own experience we know he can cough up Berliet parts that nobody else thinks still are available in this universe. There are few secrets  to the marque Berliet, or Jim knows the answer. Or he knows the people who know the answer. Still there is one issue that is bothering him for ages now. It's the engine of his VR2 tourer depicted here. To open the hood please press this little latch. The engine is unknown to Jim. The engine is unknown to any French car expert Jim ever asked. The engien is a mystery even to the Fondation Berliet! Still Mr. Fairchild is convinced this engine came with the car when delivered new. So the problem is clear. Can you put a name on the powerunit of his VR2?  (photos Rick Nicolaas)
