Well that's intriguing! OK; Process of Elimination? Just from the width of the (unbelievably clean!) tyre I'd guess that we might be able to rule-out it being from any of the HAAS / Alpha-Tauri / Red-Bull / McLaren / Alpine / Ferrari /Alfa-Romeo / Williams Equipes so (if my guess is correct) this will leave only A-M and M-B. My knowledge of this era of car is shockingly poor but if it was one of the former could it be a circa 1922 Aston-Martin TT1? Philip.

250swb Posted March 1, 2023 Share #19323 Posted March 1, 2023 Is it safe to say it's a 1.5 litre Red Bull Aston Martin (a modern F1 car is 1.6 litres so they haven't made much progress 😄)? But which model I don't know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Goriup Posted March 1, 2023 Share #19325 Posted March 1, 2023 This is awkward. Obviously several of you who still frequent this thread are more familiar with this car than I am, and have guessed and posted solutions which I am unable to answer - for example, I have no idea what a T16 is. All my images of this car where taken during the one & only time I saw this car - at the 2013 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance & Tour, but knew the instant I laid eyes on it that it was a historic, important and charming little car worthy of photographing for future reference. I t is not TT1 nor TT2 (since those were built for a certain Count Zobrovski), nor is it the 'Razor Blade' which is another of this run of about 60 of the first B & M ( Bamford & Martin ) cars. This car, a 1925 Aston-Martin 16 Valve Twin-Cam Grand Prix model, Serial # 1934, started life as a roadster bought by Captain George Eyston, who converted it to a Grand Prix car using a very rare, original Aston 16 valve, twin-cam engine. The car participated in the first British Grand Prix at Brooklands ( DNF) but had some success in other, lesser races. I shall leave it to Stuart to determine who should post the next puzzle car.

wlaidlaw Posted March 1, 2023 Share #19330 Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) I think this engine is known as the Benson Engine, being designed by the Hon John Benson for Bamford and Martin. It is actually a bit later than the chassis at 1925. BTW the T16 I referred to was the 5 litre Bugatti Type 16, the best known of which is called the Black Bugatti, from around 1912. They were originally built for speed hill climbing, Mont Ventoux etc. Wilson Edited March 1, 2023 by wlaidlaw 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as my own guess is concerned; I'm happy to concede any claim to my posting the next quiz-car. Whilst I had a lucky stab-in-the-dark as far as the manufacturer went - and that was a 50-50 choice! - Steve managed to identify it as an A-M 1.5 Litre so he has (at the very least) double my own score in this game and therefore more 'dibs' than myself. I agree with Stuart's comments in post #19331; it really is a beautiful little jewel of a car. Thanks for posting it, Ivan! Philip.

If you have nothing Philip I can take it on but I only said 1.5 litre as a shot in the dark because it was the common voiturette displacement, and you got Aston Martin before me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
