Must be a late EK motor???

Yes you are right - EK motor. Brooklands was a Melbourne company which rebuilt motors (among other things). A little bit extravagant claiming they manufactured the engine. Re-manufactured would be a more honest claim Smiley

Im looking through a lot of old online papers from the 50's and some of the claims are way out there for sure. Thanks for clarifying.
