That’s a Continental IO-550-A. Horizontally opposed 6 cylinder. Made in Alabama.

It looks identical to the pristine engine in my good friend's immaculate Piper Comanche 260. I was trying to figure out why they keep calling it a “Continental Flat Six” manufactured by “Rolls Royce”. What kind of BS is that?

Brits have no concept of American engines. They would probably say that Abita beer is brewed in Mollington, England. :-)
