It now belongs to Steve Stone OCMPG member with C30 11

Are you quite sure of the rated output: 2.2Kva? That's not much for a V8 prime mover, let's do the math:
85 HP X 746 watts/HP X 80% eff. (just to be conservative, got to allow for mechanical losses, hysteresis, windage, and inductive reactance) = 50Kw. for a generator. If it's three phase alternator you multiply that by root 3 to get even higher output.
