Mystery Block or Coffee Table? (update: postwar Standard)



Matthew Blake recently bought a load of 4 cylinder Amilcar parts from the US and amongst them was this 4 cylinder block having a bore of 58mm. It so far has been to two autojumbles and no one seems to recognise it, although in Reims at the weekend someone thought it may be from a Renault. Can anyone help identify it? It would be a shame to scrap it if it was of some value to someone, but it is costing more in petrol than it is potentially worth!

Editor: well Matthew, no need to scrap it. If not identified it will make a great conversation piece and coffee table in one go. Just take out the head studs and and glue a glass plate on top.

Hi.No doubt it is Standard Triumph for the small engines in Standard 8,10 or Herald from the end of the 50-es.Spitfire used the same block for their 1147 engine but they drilled somewhat bigger holes for the pistons 69.3 mm.Regards.Stig

This looks far too modern to be anything Amilcar, OHv, oil filter thread, etc, various tappings,I would go with a fifties European car, Renault or Peugeot possibly?

Definitely Standard Triumph, and judging by the very small bore most likely 803cc or possibly 948cc Standard 8 or 10, or Herald circa 1959.
