The one we had in the late 60's had the same stroke and bore as the
Standard Vanguard engine fitted in the Triumph TR2 (I think).


Think it's actually the other way round. Harry Ferguson designed the
engine later used by Standard Triumph. Of course it came in a variety of
sizes and power outputs.


Er no.

"Earlier versions used an imported American engine (the 1966cc
Continental Z-120) but once the 2088 cc unit being developed for
the Standard Vanguard car became available in September 1947 this
was fitted instead, exclusively so from July 1948."
