Lloyd Motoren Werke GMBH of West Germany produced a 386cc twin for the Lloyd LP 400, LS 400 and LC 400, that was also used in Sno-Prince snowmobiles, including the Tornado

Circa 1969 "Sno-Prince" Blizzard or Tornado model snowmobile - as for connection, could be just about anything! Most obvious to me is that they have been powered by two-stroke and four-stroke petrol engines and more recently electric versions have appeared?

Yes, it is a Sno-Prince, and your guess about the engine is right. So this puzzle is locked for you to name the company who built the Sno-Prince and find the car engine I am looking for.

Originally made by a Canadian company Lionel Enterprises, but they were acquired by Giffen Recreation Ltd. in 1968 and the following year 1969, the year I think the illustrated machine dates from, they changed the engines in their snowmobiles from  180cc, 300cc and 372cc Hirth engines to include a 370cc Sachs engine and a 386cc Lloyd twin - the latter engine having first appeared in the Lloyd 400 car between 1953 and 1957.

Yes, that was the automotive connection I was looking for. The Lloyd engine was still produced by the Lloyd Motoren Werke long after Borgward went bankrupt. One more point for you.
