Hi
Looks like a 1970's Reliant 748 cc OHV engine to me, should be good for about 30 BHP. The carb looks like it might get a bit toasted by the exhaust manifold, but maybe that's not a Reliant setup.
I think it's a nice looking car which has clearly taken plenty of effort to build. With a bit of tidying it could be great fun. Only issue is the price, I guess the seller isn't clued up on the gulf between values for genuine cars and replicas. No doubt the price will eventually change to the point where supply matches demand......
