And it may have been built in 1964, judging by the number plate...

Hmmm.....
I believe PJ was there first with the name of the car and Otto named the engine before PJ modified his post?
I'll award you both with a point if that's the case.

??? ??? I don't think the number plate is visible in the original photo?
1964 is correct though....but not enough to give you a point I'm afraid.

Please don't give me a point - in his haste to post, PJ neglected to give the complete answer. He clearly knew what it was.

Thanks!

No worry about the point.  I just liked the idea of 3 of us each giving a partial answer.

Thank you, that's what happened.
We have the same source, I just copied and pasted those words from it after Otto's reply and saw he did it 1st.
