Has the engine manufacturer ever belonged to BLMC ?
No, long-time ownership by large, US-based manufacturer.

Vauxhall then. But even with that piece of information I still can't find the car's other name.

Try looking for a "1930 Triumph" with "Studebaker" and "Vauxhall" components and nicknamed "Adeline." ;)


(Just "1930 Triumph" and "Adeline" should suffice.)

HUMDAT Special

Of course I had already tried the keywords you mentioned (and countless other combinations, with or without quotation marks) but it was only a question of putting the quotation marks in the right places. The source only appears in the results with that exact combination. Weird.

Now you should give yourself two points for finding the way to solve this puzzle :)
