It's in a boat, isn't it?!? What car has another set of valve covers disappearing into the firewall?

 

That is not another set of valve covers, I'm guessing more along the lines of distributor(s) and no, its not in a boat. (good question though)

 

Is it Italian?

 

perhaps...

I've realized that guessing my avatar pic might be damn near impossible' date=' but I hold out hope. What I do offer is a much more impressive automotive landmark. I'll even throw in a sound clip!

So that sound is the above pictured engine????? It sounds badass... got a pic of what the car looks like? cause the sound dosnt match the way that motor looks. i figured it was kinda old but the pic looks real old and the revs that thing is doing sounds more modern.

 

at any rate nice post.

B.R.M. ( British Racing Motors ) V16. Debuted in 1949.

Looks like the pictured installation is the Mk.2 version in the P50 Formula One car ( 1952? ) belonging to Nick Mason, and I recognise the sound clip too.

 

1496cc

Approx 600BHP @ 12,000 rpm

 

Unmistakeable.
