Aren't these 2 different motors? Look at the magneto on both images...the flywheel, too. They sure look like 2 different (although similar) motors.

Thank you for clarifying that. Now...are they Italian motors?

Guiseppe Coda perhaps?
If so they would be Diatto engines of the late 1920s

sorry not Coda and not Diatto

I stumbled across the solution when looking something completely different. Those two engines were built by Alessandro Anzani. The pictured car has been seen here before: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=6049.0

thorax · « **Reply #18 on:** May 09, 2013, 08:38:55 AM »

yes is Anzani!
one point for you!

Allan L · « **Reply #19 on:** May 09, 2013, 09:43:09 AM »

That would have made the Vintage Frazer Nash go rather better than it did with the side-valve (British) Anzani engine they fitted!
Any idea what power they produced?
