Jeremy that's not mine, and as far as I know the engine swap was light years ago!

Pete; this is the setup for a showman's wagon, they disconnect the prop shaft from the back axle and run the truck in gear, the belt pulleys are connected to a generator on the back of the truck.

Nice little Morris Minor 4 seat tourer, by the lack of chrome a post-1930 SV model (the William Morris sub £100 car) I wonder if it is one of the rarer pre-1931 Wolseley SOHC engined cars?
I have a tenuous link to them in that my Great Grandmother, and Great Aunt Pam (driving in the pic), were on a touring holiday in their Morris 8 4 seater tourer (the successor to the Minor) of Europe and were caught up in Austria during the Anschluss. Great Gran was apparently complaining bitterly to anyone who would listen how she "couldn't stand these bloody Nazi's" while they were there Still, they made it back to England ok in the car...
Pam went back to Germany after the war to marry her pre-war sweetheart Karl; a blonde, blue-eyed Bavarian doctor from Munich, who had refused to join the Nazi Party and had been sent the Russian front as punishment, he was captured and held a prisoner of war only to escape with the help of the camp commandants daughter who had taken a shine to him! The Brook girls were made of strong independent stuff for the time and really held their own
