It's a P1 Rolls Royce.
Re: Kristoffy Picture - A question
Thanks for responding, Walter.
Have you seen this picture before?
Any clue where it was taken?
Do you know what year(s) it was made?
Is it from a car - what model?
Certainly appreciate your input.

Re: Kristoffy Picture - A question
Sorry for the late follow-up. I forgot that I made the post.
P-1's were 1925 - 1931. There were several little variations along the way and I am no authority on the details. I've not seen that particular photo before. With that carb it looks like the 1927 car engines I've worked on. I'll pass along the photo to a more knowledgeable friend to see if he will comment.

Re: Kristoffy Picture - A question
The answer that came back is it's a late Springfield P-1 with aluminum head. That's probably about as much detail as you're going to get off that one photo. Hope that helps.
Re: Kristoffy Picture - A question
Thanks again. What is interesting to me is that this was in the material we received from Gene Kristoffy. Perhaps someone knew Gene might know his involvement with the engine.
