They did well building a Zephyr-engined car the year before the Zephyr first appeared in England...

Or did it have another engine prior to the Zephyr?

Yes it did. The engine and gearbox out of Pat Hoare's Singer Le Mans. Then it got a Vauxhall Wyvern engine and gearbox. It became the RA Zephyr when Ron Rutherford fitted a Mk1 Zephyr engine bored out to 2486cc and raced 1959-61. After continual development it became the 260M Zephyr Special fitted with a Mays Mk3 running on Weber carbs, and a four speed MG gearbox.

Suspension and brakes changed a bit over the years too?

Undoubtedly they did...
