Isotta Fraschini, perhaps Daimler or Maybach? Napier, Sunbeam. There was a Rolls Royce with RR Eagle engine for sale about 8 years ago but not sure where that has gone.
Once I got it all set for collection last night I spent a bit of time looking at the engine. I will be really sad to see it go. The more you look at it the more you notice all the design features which make HS head and shoulders above any other pre 1930 manufacturers including Bugatti, Bentley, RR, Alfa Romeo etc. they are fabulous and although it is just a lump of metal I am feeling sad to see this one go even if it is paying for the Delage to be finished. (Ps Lynx - I am not as well off as you may think - since I left school I have spent over 30 years applying all of my earning capacity to attaining my car ambitions the way most people target a house, pension etc. probably unwise but it has been a blast so far).
