Advertisement Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 Hi pippy, Take a look here Name this car..... I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
wlaidlaw Posted May 27, 2016 Share #8662  Posted May 27, 2016 Getting very close to the correct date but wrong make. Look at the wheels - they are the give away. The Amilcar would almost certainly have Rudge Whitworth wheels (or the French equivalent). There was actually a CGSS Amilcar about two cars away from this one. Here is a photo of the Amilcar but taken last year at its owner's workshop. The 1100/33BHP (gross) engine propels this car to around 80 MPH but the quite robust engine was fairly easy to tune for more power. It was in one of these cars, not a Bugatti, that the famous Dancer, Isadora Duncan was killed, when her scarf became entangled in a rear wheel.  Wilson   Welcome, dear visitor!

pippy Posted May 27, 2016 Share #8663 Â Posted May 27, 2016 OK, Wilson, thanks for the hint and a last guess from me. I hope I'm wrong (again!) because I'll be away until next Thursday so couldn't oversee any post I might have to make! Â Is it a 1922 Citroen Type C (5CV?) Boat-Tail? Â P.S. I didn't know the truth about the Amilcar/Isadora Duncan link; like many I also thought she was in a Bugatti. Strange how these inaccuracies enter 'common knowledge'! Â Philip.

wlaidlaw Posted May 27, 2016 Share #8664  Posted May 27, 2016 Near enough. It is actually the 10HP B2 larger model but 1922 is the correct year. I was told (don't know if it is true), that the boat tail body is a fairly recent addition, made by an undertaker who also made "deluxe" coffins for the wealthy of Marseille. It often puzzles me about people who make a great effort with one bit of a car (the wooden body) but then totally fall down in another (the crudely tacked in cheap vinyl of the interior).  Your turn  Wilson   Welcome, dear visitor!

pippy Posted May 27, 2016 Share #8665  Posted May 27, 2016 (edited) Thank you Wilson.  This will have to be fairly straightforward, Im afraid, so there are quite a few clues in the snap!...  Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted May 27, 2016 Share #8666  Posted May 27, 2016 I know that one right away but again it is time someone else had a go. I assume the Abarth badge is to mislead I know Abarth was involved in the development of supposedly a version of this car but in reality it is a totally different vehicle and I wish I had bought one of those about 15 years ago, when they were dirt cheap. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Abarth name certainly features in a version of the official name of the vehicle and the example I snapped was named thus.  If, to keep others guessing, you would prefer to send me a PM with what you think it is named I can say yea or nay...  Philip.

stuny Posted May 28, 2016 Share #8668 Â Posted May 28, 2016 I'm thinking FIAT, but not the Dino, which has different door handles and I cannot recall any Abarth models. Also, the Farina badge is the old one, but I do not recall when they changed. My guess is the '70s or later. This is probably a 2 door coupe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
