1100's (or rather 1098's) start with 10v Ben

Hence..

10V = 1098
12V = 1275
15V = 1500 Diesel
18V = 1800

12V247E-H338 Stands for: 1275, inline, Dynamo, mechanical fuel pump, Centre gearbox, crankcase ventilated, high compression engine number: 338

Very early one by the look of it.. i.e. 237th engine of that spec built. first one was number 101

Don't think so, more likely something someones lashed together..

that engine bay looks a bit hacked about, any history on this car?
