Engine


A six cylinder in-line engine of only 1271cc, with an overhead camshaft,
non cross-flow head and twin SU carburettors. Camshaft drive is by bevel
gears via a vertical shaft. A large finned sump and camshaft cover of alloy
and a fan are fitted to aid cooling. It would be the basis for development
of later 6-cylinder engines such as that of the 'K3' Magnette.
