At least one JAG was MG-based.

One JAG was Coventry-Climax powered, but I wouldn't have thought this was that one. Is it?

Yes, in Georgano's it's reported Ford V8.
I think this is what your source claims too:

I've just found reference to a car built by John Griffiths which had a supercharged Riley engine (presumably 1100cc or 1500cc). Can this be the answer?

Did the JAG have a Buckler tubular chassis?

John A. Griffiths was the owner and builder of J.A.G. cars. You have me confused  ???

Anyway - you say it's not Ford V8 or 10hp engined, nor MG, Coventry-Climax or Riley engined. I cannot find any reference to JAG cars which were fitted with anything else.

I therefore assume that this particular car has been re-engined at a later date, and that means almost anything could be under the bonnet. Is it a Mercury (aka Ford) engine?

The wheels make me think this car is a fairly mundane car - is it a mass-produced British family saloon?
