Please describe this engine. Who built it, when did he do so, what were the technical specialities of the engine?
One point for a complete answer.

Yes it is a air cooled flat 4, but no aircrafr application. It was part of a vehicle, used by a former puzzle here.

Not front-mounted. I am not shure, but it looks like mid-mounted...
