Was it meant to have a newly designed engine, or an existing one?
My source does not specify a make of engine - it only says 'it was never fitted with its theoretical flat four engine'

Yes, that's it!
Frank Hamblin's FWC (Forward Control Car) of 1937.

Now look at my MJW #440 and you will find you have discovered part of the answer.
It may help to solve that one.....
