A mate of mine's Dad, David Roscoe, left, was PR Manager at Rolls Royce for many years.

He was responsible for getting many celebrities into RR motor cars, but going through his pictures my mate recently found this and as engine people, we would like to try and identify the engine.

That was our first thought but it turns out, probably not...potentially some sort of V12 experimental engine...
