wlaidlaw Posted January 19, 2013 Share #4482 Posted January 19, 2013 WilsonI know I have some paper in the barn on the Bugatti, but right now it's -25 degrees C where I live , and no heat in the barn, so I wait a bit, and send you a PM when I know. I think I have worked out what the belt driven device is from the back of the magneto drive shaft. I think it must be a dynamo not a Zoller supercharger, which is what I thought it might be. The drive is normally to the other side of the engine - see photo below and works the rev counter. This is on one of the early non-supercharged Type 35A's , actually one of the 1924 Lyons GP cars. Like most racing cars, it is right hand drive, irrespective of what country they were made in, which is preferable for clockwise circuits. Wilson Welcome, dear visitor!

stuny Posted January 23, 2013 Share #4485 Posted January 23, 2013 Wilson - I knew you'd get it. This is from 1925. The Simeone Founmdation, at the southern edge of Philadelphia has a wonderful collection of about 100 racing cars, none restored, all in as last raced condition. and they all run. Dr. Simeone has special weekedn events which often include demonstations of cars -- the events all having a theme (such as England vs. Italy). Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted January 23, 2013 Share #4486 Posted January 23, 2013 Stuart, It was an easy one for me. In 1970, I briefly had a boat tail 2 seater 1924 RL (not an SS), when they fetched very little money indeed. I sold it on to an officer in the US Airforce within a month or so, at a very healthy profit. It was one of those cars, where everything sort of worked but you had the distinct feeling it was just about to stop doing so Still I suppose that is always the case with Alfa's - a bit like an Italian version of a Lotus. Wilson PS As before, may I ask someone to post a new picture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.j.z Posted January 24, 2013 Share #4489 Posted January 24, 2013 Correct. Although it was pretty easy to get the Mini part I am impressed that you also got the right model (Cooper). No need to show the full picture here, I assume. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted January 24, 2013 Share #4490 Posted January 24, 2013 Andreas, My two daughters bought new Mini Coopers in the first week they came out in August 2001. The UK dealer and BMW arranged delivery in the south of France with the idea that two pretty girls driving brand new red and white Mini Coopers round St Tropez, could only be good publicity. About 4 days later we had a panic phone call from the dealer to say that there had been a manufacturing error and the earthing strap had been missed off the fuel filler. This could result in a static spark on refuelling, which could cause the cars to explode. By this time they were on their way back home, their mobile phones were flat and going to voicemail. We eventually tracked them down at the ferry terminal in Calais and explained that they had to get a bit of wire and earth the fuel filler surround to the fuel nozzle before fuelling. A very worrying few hours for parents. Wilson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.j.z Posted January 24, 2013 Share #4491 Posted January 24, 2013 I can imagine. This explains why you recognised the car immediately by more or less just seeing the filler cap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreas.Pichler Posted January 25, 2013 Share #4494 Posted January 25, 2013 It's a pleasure to jump. Keep in mind, that only expensive rangefinder equipment delivers great fun in making bad pictures, I will deliver an extraordinary example of a bad picture out of my darkroom. You see (to be honest: you would see if the exposure time would have been set something more professional) a bunch of cars of the same line. Maker and (main) model line would be great...

wlaidlaw Posted January 25, 2013 Share #4495 Posted January 25, 2013 Citroen DS/ID's of some variety. I would guess that the one with the side strakes was a DS23 or a Décapotable. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted January 26, 2013 Share #4497 Posted January 26, 2013 So here is your next puzzle. Not a great photo I am afraid. I cannot find the negative to rescan it and this one was done over 10 years ago on the Canon 1250 UF I had at the time. Also the photo was taken with my grandfather's very well used Leica II and 3.5 Elmar. This lens, although a post war coated model, will not have been improved by my father using it as an enlarger lens for around 20 years. Wilson Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted January 26, 2013 Share #4498 Posted January 26, 2013 Correction on photo info of above. I thought this was one of my scanned images with the model II/Elmar. I just found those in another event. This was actually taken with a Leica Digilux 4.3. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
