I was looking at the Herald 1200 convertible that's for sale at a local 
classic car dealer. The car appears to be in good condition but it seems to 
have the wrong engine.

Commission number:  GA48304L CU
Engine number: BE98904 R

According to one reference this is a 948cc engine from a 1957 Standard 10. 
The engine has a single Solex carburetor and a one piece manifold.

Is it likely that the original 1147cc engine was replaced with a Standard 
10 engine?
  Could this have been an new replacement engine from the factory?

I've decided not to buy the car but I'm curious about the engine.

-Erik
