I bet it's a factory Junior motor. They started making these in late 1961, and they were a precursor to the 1070 Junior engine, which had the bigger bore/shorter stroke. Brian Brian Evans Director, G

What's the difference between works and factory? I know that in the era, British Leyland would provide race motors to some teams that they produced, ready to run, fully race ready. That's what I mean

In the early 60's timeframe, the Canadian arm of British Leyland had what amounted to a national "works" program, acting as an adjunct to the English factory. I've met a character maned Dennis Prophe
