Sounds like some mutation of an A-type, perhaps from a Triumph Stag or 2000
(both of which I believe have the solenoid mounted horizontal for clearance
reasons). It should still work OK (assuming you can adapt the rear mount
and drive flange), but the speedo drive gear may be wrong for your speedo.
If you try hard, you could probably even talk me into trading you a solenoid
mount for a TR, for the one you have.
