Photoskeptic Posted August 22, 2014 Share #6723 Posted August 22, 2014 I think it's German. I would guess a BMW - but before the 328 series. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted August 22, 2014 Share #6724 Posted August 22, 2014 John, Correct so far - not a lot of choices, so have a go. I can tell you for certain it’s not an Austin 7 based BMW Dixi Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalHeMan Posted August 22, 2014 Share #6725 Posted August 22, 2014 BMW 319 roadster from 35/6? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted August 23, 2014 Share #6726 Posted August 23, 2014 Simon, Correct - a 319/1 roadster from 1935. Now this may look like an Enid Blyton Noddy Car and is only supposed to have 41 BHP from its 1911 cc inline 6 cylinder pushrod engine with three horizontal Solex carburettors (it’s not a hemi-head like the later 328). They must be giant German cart horses because it goes very smartly indeed. I suspect the engine was somewhat improved during its rebuild. It does have surprising non-standard features like an oil cooler. We also have a 1938 328, the well known car raced by Lady Betty Haig both pre and post war. Now this one has an engine, which after its rebuild by AFN (Archie Frazer Nash) in 1948, owed a lot more to Bristol than it did to Eisenach, as we found when we rebuilt the engine some 15 years ago. I think the 319/1 is not a whole lot slower than the 328, which probably has around 110 BHP or more. The 319/1 also has lovely steering, a pleasant gearbox, good brakes and corners very well. Compared with the lumbering sports Mercedes of this period, it must have been a revelation to drive. I am very surprised they only managed to sell 6.600 319’s of all varieties, it is that good. It feels 10 to 15 years ahead of its time. The nearest British equivalent would be the Triumph Roadster of 1948. Well the BMW is a lot nicer to drive and quicker than that.

DigitalHeMan Posted August 24, 2014 Share #6728 Posted August 24, 2014 OK, Here's the next one. Might be a bit harder to work out this time, but the last time I said that it was guessed immediately Film scan from the M6.... Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted August 24, 2014 Share #6734 Posted August 24, 2014 The rear lights are identical to those on a Daihatsu Fourtrak my wife used to have many years ago but that may just be a standard Nippon Denso part used on many 4WD vehicles and pick up trucks.

stuny Posted August 25, 2014 Share #6737 Posted August 25, 2014 Now it's looking like a Subaru Brat -- A pickup sold in the US by that name which had two rearward facing, weatherproof seats in the truck bed. That led to some deaths, so they stopped selling the vehicle here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
