From a ship wreck?

I love the bit of rag in the oil filler hole to stop any dirt getting inside the engine!

What was it's ignition system? I thought all marine engines were magneto ignition, or had they found another position for the magneto. All of the Austin engines I saw on ships lifeboats were magneto.

Perhaps it was like this one?

I have a marine magneto casing that sits over the cam gear like the one above - the other side holds a dynamo.

Quick, up to Loch Lomond with it, or the Forth & Clyde canal if it’s a bit windy.

A half-decent mast and a used set of sails would solve the problem...

I remember travelling from Datchet to Teddington on my late uncle's small cabin cruiser which had an Austin Seven engine. Sadly I don't remember all the mechanical details, but I think it had the typical chain drive arrangement for the crank handle, and also a chain drive to the boat's propellor shaft so that the engine could sit under the starboard side seat giving reasonable spce in the fairly small cockpit. The same uncle had an unfinished but driveable Riley 8/90 chassis fitted with a smaller Ford V8 engine. Both were disposed of before I was old enough to think about taking on either.
