wlaidlaw Posted April 17, 2017 Share #9621  Posted April 17, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) They used to park many of them in the car park under Hyde Park. If you went in there late at night, you could sneak around looking under dust covers and find all sorts of exotica. The classic stuff is now so valuable, I would imagine it is all locked away in private garages in outer London. I remember in the late 1960's we found a row of two Birdcages (a t60 and t61) and three Testa Rossas (two pontoons and a TR61) but that was when you could buy one of those for around £3000, well maybe £4000 for the TR61.  Wilson 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona!d Posted April 17, 2017 Share #9622  Posted April 17, 2017 And here the next one. At the moment I´m a friend of generous crops and "mass produced" cars (well at least at our standards), so anybody can win ;-) Welcome, dear visitor!

It´s not the Bristol 403 but production amount was also 3 digit and they made more than of the 403. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona!d Posted April 19, 2017 Share #9629  Posted April 19, 2017 Bmw 503. I have nothing to post....   You are right. It´s a BMW 503. Forgot if a Cabrio or Coupe. Only have a front photo made in the workshop, so I don´t post the original photo.  In my eyes the 503 is more interesting than the famous brother 507, took me some years to understand ;-)  Unfortunately they were made at a poor quality standard, so a todays restauration looks only "original" when it is not "perfect" ;-) Untouched, never restored 503s are VERY rare, some of them were fragmented for keeping 507s on the road in the 1960s/70s.   Nothing to post? Does that mean anybody can jump in? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted April 20, 2017 Share #9633  Posted April 20, 2017 If it's not the AC, it might well be the Leon Bollé then. They made two types the more upright version like the one above and a prone version, both called Tri-Car. I have a friend with an 1895 prone Tri-Car. I think he has yet to reach Brighton on the London to Brighton Veteran Car run. It is a bit more reliable now that he has replaced the gasoline blowlamp that heats the platinum tube for the ignition with a butane gas burner but a side wind still tends to set the carburettor on fire. The gearbox is under the driver's legs and is open, so you don't want to wear loose trousers. From memory you twist the handle on the top of the brake lever to change from low gear to high gear.  Wilson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted April 20, 2017 Share #9634 Â Posted April 20, 2017 Hmm, I thought of a Waddington & Sons or Humber or Garrard Tricar but there are so many of them, even Harley and Indian had them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted April 20, 2017 Share #9635  Posted April 20, 2017 Royal Enfield made a rather nice motor tricycle up to around 1908. You would think there might still be a market for these in India, using the back end of the current Indian built Royal Enfield Bullet. A receptionist at a hotel we stayed at in Kerala two years ago was getting married and selling his 10 year old but immaculate 500 Bullet. Only a very stern warning from she who must be obeyed, stopped me buying it and shipping it back to France. He only wanted around £700 for it and that before I started bargaining.  Wilson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
