Motorcycle-engined I guess so could it be the Marwyn Special?

It is indeed motorcycle-engined, but not the Marwyn.

Is it the Vincent-powered Rilstone Special, made by Keith Rilstone in 1954?

Exactly. Powered by a 998cc Vincent. Photo shows it at Collingrove in 1954.

Very nice to award you a point.
