Ransome MG Crawler

This started of as a Ransomes MG crawler powered by a single cylinder Sturmy-Archer engine, then someone wanted a bit more power.

That looks a dangerous as it looks awesome.

Looks a lot like a Wisconsin, but not exactly. Did someone make a copy?

Dad had a V-4 Wisconsin engine on a Gleaner combine. It was a powerful little engine.

Could it be a Mitey-Mite engine? To keep the weight down, the M422 became the first U.S. jeep to be fitted with an aluminum body. At 1,700 pounds (771 kg), it is the lightest conventional U.S. military truck to date.[13]
Also, this was the first U.S. small military vehicle designed with independent suspension all around (front: leading arms/trailing arms rear), sprung by ¼-elliptical leaf springs. Among the M422's many other unique features were front and rear limited-slip differentials, inboard differential mounted drum brakes, center-point steering, and the aluminum "AMC AV-108-4" V4 engine developed by American Motors.
The air-cooled 107.8 cu in (1.8 L) developed 52 bhp (39 kW) and 90 lb⋅ft (122 N⋅m) of torque, which propelled it to a top speed of 65 miles per hour (108 km/h), with a 55-mile-per-hour (89 km/h) military rating.
As with the M151, the transfer case only engages/disengages the front wheel drive and is part of the transmission. The full synchronization meant it could be shifted from 2-wheel drive to 4-wheel drive on the fly.-- Wikipedia

It sounds to me that it incorporated some ideas from the Citroen 2CV.

@cdmn
The AMC V4 Mighty Mite engine had conventional looking valve covers.
And the exhaust ports for each cylinder came out horizontally on the ends of the cylinder heads.
