Unanswered: Gary, others. That '51 Olympia on ebay again. is the engine original?...

Or is it an updated engine? Shouldn't it be a side valve (flat head) 4cyl?
eBay Motors: Opel : Olympia (item 330288255542 end time Nov-27-08 17:23:35 PST)
Just wondering.
Thanks

That is the correct engine. Looks like it was converted over to 12 volts.

Looks like there was some work done to the rear. It has the look of an earlier Olympia.
