Patience Glasshopper, how many sides are you looking at?

Ah, well, I have to confess it had me beaten - no clue from you this time - so well done to AllanL for getting it. The new picture has helped but with the diamond award gone...
Pete

Sigh!
Gone are the days when Pete batted on, till he got a
cardboard badge.
They don't make 'em like they used to!
Joe (blanston12) gets a gold badge for his correct identification:
Congratulations, Joe...
Requests for extra pics always welcome, but are we all done, Gentlemen?
Final 24 hours starts now....

I see a fairly small high winged monoplane. Six cylinders, contra rotating props, high performance. Thinking maybe air racer or aerobatics?
Maybe the exhausts are false?

I think I've found it but I still don't know what is. I have an image but sadly no name yet. I will say that the images here might lead you down the wrong path.

I have a manufacturer and name. I just hope it's the right one.

Den,
I think that the perspective has thrown you off a bit. The props are contra-rotating, but there are two pairs of them!
AFAIK, the exhausts are not false. Give me a few minutes, I'll come back with further comment.
The six stubs are correct, belonging to Merlin 140 V12s.
Meanwhile, chrispbits has been working like crazy, and came up a gold winner!
Congratulations, Chris...
