Alvar Berglund's minicar from 1951? I think it had a Jawa motorcycle engine
No, and it has a motorcycle engine made in Sweden

OK - twin, inline engine (as opposed to an opposed engine configuration)?

I'm not 100 % sure that it is a twin cylinder engine, but it for sure is not a Boxer engine.

To be clear, the engine is of Swedish manufacture, not just from a Swedish bike (many of which used engines from elsewhere)?

It has an engine of Swedish and British origin. I think they were built in Sweden, as they have a double name, one part Swedish, the other Britsh. But I couldn't find a proof yet.

Villiers-Monark engine?
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.
