What vehicle....

I would have said the Morris and Austin?? most popular. But I don't know if they used metric threads like you asked.

the introduction of the v block motors was also in the 1930's v8 v12. not sure who made them thu??

tell me more.

No, not Austin. Further clues.

Production of the engines in Australia was mainly by GMH, with some made by Tasmanian Railway workshops.

Where's Mick when we need him?

Further clue - the engine in question is a four cylinder one, developing between 120 and 145hp depending on model.
