Solved - NEH 1782: Morris Traveller Special with 5555cc V8 engine - 1952

What is this, when was it built and what can you tell me about its motive power - for 1 point:


Google Search by Image continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Search by Image as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

Have fun!

If not a diesel, maybe someone build a bigger engine in it (hence the bigger nosesection)?

I don't know what make the engine is; just its size and configuration.
It most likely is Ford but I can't be certain.

One site says that it is a 1952 Morris Special Estate Wagon.  But no mention of the motor.

V8 is right.
Give me the cc (or cu in if you insist!) and the point is yours?

Very close, but as I said before I don't know what engine it is - just the capacity, which I need exactly in cc!
