I have no idea and have no connection with the vendor!

First thought is that it is a Jowett Kestrel.

Hi
What little can be seen of the engine suggests an upright engine not a flat 2 or 4.

The 3 holes and 2 studs in a line about mid picture look like a manifold position.

The Jowett cutaway doesn't suggest anything in a similar position.

Looking at the rear I would agree with the Standard 10.

Interesting, Rootes75, that was what drew my attention to it, but then decided, as with Penman that the engine was not a Jowett (though spurious engines have found their way into Jowetts over the years. That said, the dash and interior were all wrong too.
BTW, Penman, that engine is a Javelin engine. It bears little resemblance to the pre-war engines, apart from being boxer layouts of course.

Hi Paul

It was just the clearest view of a boxer I could find.
