stuny Posted May 2, 2019 Share #12205  Posted May 2, 2019 I've seen center driver seating, three cars from Ferrari, McLaren and Porsche, but this is much older, and seems much lower end than those three marques. I have no idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted May 3, 2019 Share #12206 Â Posted May 3, 2019 The maker in question or a namesake (experts are not sure about it)Â started his first car production back in 1899 ! Just like Porsche (for Lohner) they worked on and sold electric vehicles since the beginning. Some of them (not this one, I think) even had wheel hub motors. VERY modern for that era. Oh, and yes, this one is electric driven as well. Anyone who is not completely clueless now? ;-)))Â Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted May 3, 2019 Share #12207  Posted May 3, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Maybe a Bianchi (founded in 1899) but which one I don't know. My Georgano Encyclopaedia of the Automobile is back in the UK. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted May 4, 2019 Share #12208  Posted May 4, 2019 Not Bianchi. I‘ll post another photo of it today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted May 5, 2019 Share #12209  Posted May 5, 2019 OK, here an unretouched complete shot incl. logo. This might have been the smallest vehicle that maker produced, the other ones were mostly MUCH larger.   Welcome, dear visitor!

NigelG Posted May 6, 2019 Share #12211  Posted May 6, 2019 Not sure what it is but I want one!  Edit - a bit of digging makes me wonder if it was by Officine Meccaniche (OM) which became part of Iveco trucks?.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham (G4FUJ) Posted May 6, 2019 Share #12212 Â Posted May 6, 2019 Is it electric? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted May 6, 2019 Share #12213  Posted May 6, 2019 In 1970, I very nearly bought a 1926 OM 665 or 655, I forget which, but in the end bought a 1924 Alfa Romeo RL Super Sport instead for £550, as it had a 3 litre instead of the 2 litre engine of the OM. This was from a sort of scrap yard out in the sticks of East Sussex in a place with the quaint name of Lower Dicker, that was full of old exotic cars in various states of dilapidation. I really wanted a vintage 4.5L Bentley, where he had a choice of two but they were both over £1000. For once in my life, I made the right decision as the OM would have been quite difficult to sell on but I resold the Alfa 6 weeks after I bought it, for over double what I had paid for it, after some very minor repairs and a lot of polishing. Of course, if I had kept the Alfa, it would now be worth over a million pounds 😂 Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona!d Posted May 6, 2019 Share #12215  Posted May 6, 2019 Not an OM although their products had something in common: Public transportation. The company in question was specialized in electric vehicles and even designed tanks. Their buses can be seen in a lot of 1920´s-1950s photos of Italian city traffic.

Rona!d Posted May 6, 2019 Share #12218  Posted May 6, 2019 OK guys, this is a Turrinelli AT9 (ca. 1957). Used at fairs, hotels etc. Designed by a "Gino Turrinelli" founder of the italian company SIVA (1899) or his nephew with the same name. SIVA made different vehicles and had different eras. During their first era they made electric vehicles until 1906 and again in later decades. In the 1950s they had a lot of trolley buses in Italy. They also designed tanks and their trucks and buses were mostly electric! If anyone has more information about this vehicle, I would be happy to know about. I think I´ll post another riddle vehicle this night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted May 6, 2019 Share #12220  Posted May 6, 2019 Obviously a low production fibreglass car with the headlight held in by 4 self tapping screws. An early Donkervoort? Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
