British engine ?

I'm not sure which country the engine came from, I just know enough to think it wasn't American!
I'd say it's likely to have been British though, yes.

That's a very intriguing reply. It suggests a "different" sort of engine, something the Americans wouldn't normally have used, and therefore it's unlikely it was built in the US. But why would the builder have decided on something different?

Was it 2-stroke?

It might have been a 2-stroke, but then again it might not.
I only know the engine size and what it would normally have powered.

Crikey! Since you believe it's not an American engine, I'm assuming that the capacity is below the usual US minimum of a zillion c.c.. Is it a 500?

Sorry, I inserted the same quote twice in my Reply #13...
I've corrected it now; would you like to re-phrase your question?

This car has very different proportions from the usual midgets / speedcars / sprint cars, so was it competing in a different formula (but still on dirt tracks) ?

It is very small, but I  have no record of what it competed in.
I didn't answer "Yes" to the dirt track question..
