nope the engine is in a tarmac rally car pictured here:

http://www.autohaushamilton.com.au/s..._projects.html

the event is the annual porsche club Concours d' Elegance. cars are divided into catagories by age and concorse/streeet/race. always a good chance to catch up with the fraternity, admire great cars, have a BBQ and listen to a band
