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?

De Coucy 1947.

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:

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.
