But in this case, it should have been visible below the hood if it hasn't been cloned away. Is it common to do that in this thread?... Yes, evikne, cloning out identifying badges is done in pretty much any photograph where, for the purposes of helping identify the puzzle-car, it is desireable / neccessary to show that part of the car where the badges are affixed. 19 minutes ago, wlaidlaw said: I would not be surprised if Porsche sue Ora as the Ora bodywork is pretty much a crib of the Taycan...

wlaidlaw Posted August 18, 2024 Share #22430 Posted August 18, 2024 Apologies for the poor quality but this is scanned from a faded old print in one of the family photo albums. I know why this particular photo was taken as well. Given that it is in colour, it would almost certainly have been taken by my father with his Leica IIIa and coated Summar, probably on Ektacolor colour negative film. You may think this is a motor cycle but it isn't. It even has "Car" in its name. Usual required plus approximate date Wilson Welcome, dear visitor!

stuny Posted August 18, 2024 Share #22433 Posted August 18, 2024 Though I've never seen one, your "car" clue suggests Amilcar, which if I'm correct would put this circa 1920. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted August 18, 2024 Share #22434 Posted August 18, 2024 Over 30 years later Stuart. This might be regarded as a proof of concept for the final vehicle. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted August 20, 2024 Share #22436 Posted August 20, 2024 Going back to your clue about car in its name, other than Amilcar all I can come up with are: 1. Cunningham C4R, since the 4 looks like an A 2 OSCA but mispronounced as John F. Kennedy pronounced Cuba with an R at the end. I'm pretty certain it's neither of those. I think we need some more hints/crops. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted August 20, 2024 Share #22437 Posted August 20, 2024 Stuart, You are miles off. I have shown half the car. If I show the other half it will give it away immediately. Give you a clue - it was made in Essex in around 1952 or 53. Wilson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.j.z Posted August 20, 2024 Share #22438 Posted August 20, 2024 Sidecar also includes „car“ but as you said that it is no motorcycle this presumably is something we should pursue 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
