But the engine might have come from a tank as a RR Meteor version instead, said James. Shows on plate check sites but not on DVLA as RR or Bentley. Not sure what to call it - most of the ingredients seem to have emerged from RR factories - but I'm sure there would be a name somewhere to describe it, but googling hasn't produced any clue yet.
