Good morning Wilson.  Not an Austro Daimler of any type, however the year is correct.

Here is another shot I took:

Might it be an Audi Type E (1912-1923)? I note it has rear brakes only so probably a car in its final years of production. Most newly developed larger/sports European cars by 1922 would have four wheel brakes. Only in the USA did 4 wheel brakes come significantly later. Our 1925 Rolls Royce Springfield Piccadilly Roadster Silver Ghost, still only has rear brakes. This in comparison to the 1925 Bentley Big Six we used to have, which had finned alloy drums all round with vacuum servo assistance as standard and worked very well indeed.

I´d suggest this car has a 3ltr. engine and comes from an island.

Dear Wilson, not an Audi of any type.

Rona!d, the car has a 2,580 cc engine and did not come from an island.

Apolgies.  It did not come from Tasmania.  It was exhibited at the 1924 Melbourne Motor Show and remained in Victoria until 2015.

I really thought it´s a 3ltr. Bentley with a non-standard coach. Thank god I was wrong.

Heinz by both breed and name

[Rona!d]

Yes, the coachbuilder could be seen in the dogs snapshot.

[Rona!d]

Somebody should figure out the exact model of this Crossley.

[hektor]

I am enjoying this.  Not a Crossley Rona!d.  The complete chassis was made on the Continent in 1924 and shipped to Melbourne where it was fitted with the aforesaid Waring coachwork.

Further clue, the manufacturer ceased production in 1945.

[Rona!d]

This is getting interesting now 😉

[hektor]

Before making cars, the maker produced sewing machines.

[Rona!d]

Stoewer D10

[hektor]

Rona!d, you got it, made by Stoewer-Werke AG, vormals Gebrüder Stoewer.  An attactive body I suspect copied from the 3 litre Bentley of which many came here.  The D10 was like a veteran car to drive reminding me of an under powered Vauxhall 30/98.

Hektor, that riddle saved my sailing gear! Late night here. I needed a drink and went to the garage to get a bottle of Tonic (no, not with Gin that late). We are having works on the house and the roof maker had a scaffolding set on the garage which punctured the sealing. Some sails got wet and just 1m away my 64 beetle is parked.

What a night!

 

p.s. On this Stoewer webpage you guys can find the story of the car.

[hektor]

Sleep well Rona!d.  I imagine that sailing is a major pastime at Rungholt.  The early sixties teh Beetle was the standard car for most young blokes in western Queensland (where I grew up).  Other than Americana the Volkswagen was the only small car capable of handling the rough roads out there and on which one really did learn to drive.

Hallo,

Look here: Interesting Leica gear

[Rona!d]

Off for a nap.

 

p.s. Didn´t need the hint with the sewing machine maker, found the car before BUT to close the riddles circle under the spot were the water dropped through the garages roof there is my old sewing machine (1930s, not Stoewer) I use to repair my boat stuff. I hope the bucket I put onto it will be large enough until tomorrow morning.
