P4 and P5 Rovers also had straight six inlet over exhaust engines, as did the 6 cylinder Bentleys up to the 50s. It wasn't an unusual arrangement back then. Not sure why they didn't stick all the valves in the head though

They could use bigger valves if one was in the head and the other in the block.

Nah, t'other way round, the inlet was in the head and the exhaust in the block. This allowed for bigger valves than either overhead valve or sidevalve engines.
Not only did Rolls Royce make a 4 cylinder version and the 6 cylinder used in the VDP 4litre but they also made an 8 cylinder and this will please @Drago that was used to power the stolley (stalwart)

Your quite right, somehow I mixed up the clue from the words when I wrote it down.

Apparently the other way up was also a thing,

That’s an early Mister Two! I had a later T-bar version (still AW11); sadly written off in the side of a car that pulled out in front of me.

If I remember rightly the early Mr2's were all twin colours for some reason but I could be wrong.

The Audi is also rather nice, Mrs Gunk owned one about 15 years ago. A 2.6 auto, lovely car. Very few decent ones out there now.

Looks like a wrap rather than the original colour.
