Not built there, but part of it was.

An English engine, yes. Not the USA so it won't take long to find the country where it was built.

Looks like a F3 car or development thereof, so perhaps it's got a JAP engine.

It was indeed built in the style of European F3 cars of the time, but it's not a JAP engine.

Well, to win in the UK you needed a Norton engine so perhaps . . . ?

Not that either! I must say that the engine looks much larger in my puzzle photo - I'm going by the caption and records of the time and I think it must be an optical illusion. So it's an F3 style engine but not JAP or Norton.

Not BSA. It's an F3 style of car, but the engine could be more than 500cc!

No. Sorry if some of my answers have not been very well worded. It was not normally a car engine.
