Correct and correct. Strange looking thing then and now but I recall many housewives had them in the early 60's. Pete

One of the most notable things with them was the "slant 6" engine, and it built a reputation as a reliable unit. The earlier ones had a full size impression of the spare wheel raised in a pressing on the boot / trunk lid. They now have a strong following in Oz with the classic car collectors.

You need to add a few questions, Pete. I am not going to give the game away, but it is a good example of of modern engine development.

You can only see 3 cylinders so its either a very small engine or half of a V6, but from what car, no idea?

Actually, I think I had something similar on the Cub Cadet I used to use to mow the lawn when I was a kid.
