Not at work yet (it's still too early out here), but it looks like the
motor's out of an Innocenti Sypder. From "Original Sprite & Midget",
page 67:
"Semi-CKD kits bound for Milan to be built as Innocenti versions
continued to use home market chassis numbers but had engine number
prefixes as follows: Innocenti Spyder, up to 1963, 948cc, 9CB; Innocenti
'S', 1963 onwards, 1098cc, 10CB."
and under "Changes By Engine Number" on page 73, it looks like serial
number 4336 would have been in June 1961.
