Wilson No; not quite but, curiously, there WAS a Brasier C10 just a few cars further along the row from this machine!... The manufacturer in question was quite a player in turn-of-the-century motor racing and, at the time, was possibly the main competitor to Panhard et Levassor. Here's a snap of a front wheel showing the five-stud fixing and an octagonal wheel-cap which bears the (photoshopped-out) manufacturer's name; Welcome, dear visitor!

Mors were successful (for a while) winning, for example, both the Paris-Bordeaux and Paris-Berlin races with Henri Fournier as their works driver. Andre Citroen was appointed chairman in 1908 and the factory ended up (c. 1925) manufacturing cars bearing his own name.

Rona!d Posted October 19, 2020 Share #13745 Posted October 19, 2020 Jenatzy started his career with a Mors, later he hold the land speed record (100 km/h) on his electric torpedo "La Jamais Contente". Bodywork of that was made by J. Rothschild & Fils who also made many Mors bodies. Mors took the land speed record from electric and steam vehicles with their model Z. Charles Rolls (who was a distributor of Mors) hold a land speed record on a Mors in 1903 with a top speed of 150 km/h. Wilson was very close, Henri Brasier worked on the early Mors vehicles. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much for the additional information, Ronald. I could see where Wilson was heading and there was, as you point out, a great deal of to-ing and fro-ing in those (fairly) early days with much knowledge, influence and co-incidence in evidence to be enjoyed amongst / to be added to all the confusion! I do have some snaps of the Brasier (mentioned earlier) taken at the same time and it is often - in these times of 'not much new to photograph' - tricky to choose which images / voitures might be worthy or even of interest to the thread. Recently the Musee Automobile de Vendee has been a boon and a blessing to me here stuck in lock-down in London. Here's hoping for some Ventures Forth in the "Not-Too-Distant". Philip.

Rona!d Posted October 21, 2020 Share #13750 Posted October 21, 2020 Wilson, it´s not an Amphicar and cannot swim. It looks nicer than an Amphicar. No rear fins too (which is a hint you can use later when we get closer). A first real hint: It´s made two years prior to the serial production start of the Amphicar.

I must admit that the rear end from this angle might look a bit like BMWs "new class" but this car was made a couple of years before. But it has a kind of BMW relation indeed.

NigelG Posted October 22, 2020 Share #13758 Posted October 22, 2020 That “high-waisted” trim line had me also thinking firstly amphibious (some kind of Dutton plastic horror) then likewise BMW Bauer 1600..... The only other car I can recall with that kind of detailing is the NSU “Prinz” 4, which has a sufficiently short rear end (unlike the BMW) but I don’t think there was ever a convertible version - maybe something related to NSU?

wlaidlaw Posted October 22, 2020 Share #13759 Posted October 22, 2020 Nigel, There were some NSU Prinz convertibles from around this date but all the images of them I could find had a ventilation grille in the rear wing or like the later Wankel engine Spider, had fins.

NigelG Posted October 22, 2020 Share #13760 Posted October 22, 2020 Wilson The original base spec models certainly had no grilles and so maintained a delightful “push me - pull you” profile to them ( or pushmi- pullyu for Dr Doolittle pedants). But I still have never seen a convertible - was there maybe a “Bauer-style” modified model? Nigel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
