It is quite possible. I don't know where the builder obtained the engine.

What was this car called?
Is this the Harbedvis that you mentioned here (by R. F. Harwood, Alvis chassis, Bedford engine)?

 ;D You read my mind! I thought I might as well use it as a puzzle, I thought nobody would remember. Well done, I underestimated the AP membership. It was based on an Alvis Crested Eagle, but that's all I know.
