What is this ?
I'm surprised we haven't had this one before. Experts ?
MG based?
Italian ?
:taz: I feel I should know this but it rings no bells.
Is it British?

No. But it's too early yet for clues.
Agreed. I wasn't fishing for a clue, just expressing frustration.
Not British, not Italian. Is it French?

Yes ! Sometimes known as the Guerin de Coucy. Another promising project that was never realised - the plan was a supercharged staright-8 but it eventually raced a couple of times with what is believed to be a Simca 1100cc engine.
:censored: I knew I'd seen it recently, then I found it in a book and went to post the answer and found that M630 had beaten me to it :sigh:
Another view
The engine in this photo appears to be a twin-cam straight-8. It certainly isn't a Simca 1100!
Maybe it's a dummy engine for display purposes.
