Letter to the editor

I am trying to identify a mystery engine and radiator. Whilst they came from the same location I do not believe that they are from the same vehicle.

The engine is definitely of British manufacture with Lucas starter motor and dynamo. I would date it as being from the mid 20's period and originally it featured magneto ignition. At some point what I think is a distributor from a flat head Ford V8 has been crudely fitted at the front. I would guess that the capacity is around 1500cc with a three bearing crank and the bottom end appears to be fully pressurised. The most unusual feature of this engine is the fully enclosed clutch in a bell housing with an approximately 1" aperture for the drive to a separate gearbox.

Who can help me further?

Many thanks, John Kent
