The Truth Is Out There

Now try to stay focused, you can look at the pictures in a moment. They were sent in by a MEN reader from New Zealand who is the new owner of this, ummm, errr, engine. He bought it on eBay and the text following the images is exactly how the seller described it for the auction. The new owner, and the Motor Boys, would like to know what it really is, so if you happen to know, please, please drop us an email. Our NZ colleague is planning a very systematic disassembly and analysis in the near future, so we are going to hold fire on any speculation until then...
