    Mid 1960ish I´d say. 1964 or 1965 512 maybe?

    I think it is a 1965 1512. 1.5 liter flat 12. The intake trumpets are quite low, indicating that it is the 180 degree engine configuration with the intake on top and the exhaust below the engine. They made a lot of noise for a 1.5 liter normally aspirated engine. Ironically, the flat engine had a higher CG than the V engines due to it having to sit higher to accommodate the exhaust being under the engine.
