You're right, Stu. The engine also features three carbs, as can be seen from the pics, and has sleeves to downsize the bore and fit into the 3-litre limit, as Mr Lo Presto told me Satursday. That leads him and Simon to believe that this engine had been prepared for the 1941 Mille Miglia and design it as S10SS. However, factory drawings exist that show a double camshaft S10SS project, probably never completed, and replaced with the "easy way". No engine plate on it. Simon's article will appear in the next issue of Auto Italia (late June?) and probably in the July or October issue of Het Klaverblaadje.
