Can I can't I - motor wiring

[Doomed]

Just been sent this picture my a regular client that plays with cars:

He says the bloke he got it from had it working in his domestic large garage which implies single phase and the plate does say 14A at 230V, but all the info I can find online is in french and seems to say its 3 phase only.
My client often isn't the brightest chappie, so I don't trust his statement of it working at this blokes place at face value.
Can anyone please offer me thier wisdom on its workings.

(My client has a workshop with only single phase supply that he tinkers with his cars in)

It is three phase given away by "ph 3". It operates at 240v three phase in delta and 415v three phase in star.

That's a three phase motor, connect in star for 3 phase 415V, delta for 3 phase 230V.

So it could have worked at the previous address, as they may have three phase, or using a phase converter to generate 3 phase from single.
