wlaidlaw Posted December 29, 2020 Share #14227 Posted December 29, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) I will have a word with the MD of Bonhams Europe, who is a personal friend, next time I see him. They must be getting desperate including rubbish like that in their sale. I now really regret throwing away a Mobylette motorised bicycle, which had previously been the property of Roland Emett the cartoonist and mad machine inventor, who was a family friend. It might now be worth a couple of thousand Wilson 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back of my head tells me that I have seen this before but does not give me any further clues 🙈. But good that you enjoy yourself 😉 The low grille and the arrangement of the lights are similar to some Auto Union models but it does not quite fit.

NigelG Posted December 30, 2020 Share #14236 Posted December 30, 2020 Ok - just looked a bit like one of the retro kei class “reimaginings” in some ways... (I think I had more substantial bumpers on my childhood pedal car!) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona!d Posted December 31, 2020 Share #14238 Posted December 31, 2020 Philip, well seen. I think this snap should be enough input to finalize it although it does not show the requested number of head beams. Welcome, dear visitor!

pippy Posted December 31, 2020 Share #14239 Posted December 31, 2020 So it is a T87 with the 3-part screen. I've always loved the Tatras. Completetly bonkers, some of them - I mean; an air-cooled 2.9 litre rear-engined design in 1936? - but WAY ahead of their time in so many ways. OK; assuming I'm correct I'll post this...let's see what we can all come up with! No huge hints at the outset just in case it's absolutely obvious to some folk; Welcome, dear visitor!

Might be a T87; hard to tell if there's a third headlight out of crop. Philip. I think you’re right - the “pod” of the headlight wasn’t visible on my phone screen so it looked like the car was very flat-fronted ... T97 with its headlight ring clamped in the wrong place (usually aligned underneath). I’d forgotten how thin those bumpers appeared. TRied to post this last night when you were wondering about the model number but it didn’t load. As an aside I’m not sure I’ve seen an example with a horn mounted on that side but there may be versions with paired horns for owners who (like I would have) disliked the asymmetric single horn on the LH side. A beauty. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
