Is it based on a mk1 3.4/2.4 Jaguar?

Not Jaguar-based

Which part is Aston and which Triumph ?

I believe it's an Aston engine in a Triumph chassis, but will have to check my file at work to be sure

Built by Aston Martin mechanic Tony Hills. 1934 Triumph Gloria chassis, Aston DB1 engine 49/19, and various other bits from here and there.

Well done. I knew this was going to be solved in the next few days... congratulations for being first
