Ah yes, the Napier Lion by the looks of it. A W12, but not in the VAG Bentley sense of 2 welded-together V6's - this is a triple-bank affair with 4 cylinders per bank.

Makes a hell of a noise when given the beans - for footage, search for the Napier Bentley biggrin

That's not what the Railton had is it? Was the Railton a V12?

ETA: Aah the Railton did have the Lion engine smile
