A 6 cylinder
in-line engine of only 1271cc, with a
non-crossflow head and an overhead
camshaft driven by bevel gears via a
vertical shaft. Although based on the Wolseley
'Hornet' design it was
equipped with twin SU carburettors, a large finned sump and a
camshaft
cover of alloy. The basis for later 6-cylinder engines
such as that of the 'K3'.
