stuny Posted August 15, 2014 Share #6682 Posted August 15, 2014 Well done, Phil, and it's your turn. they will release it next month, and being a 3-wheeler, in the US it will require motorcycle registration, but automobile operator's licence. This is on 49th Street a few meters east of Rockefeller Plaza. Welcome, dear visitor!

a.j.z Posted August 16, 2014 Share #6687 Posted August 16, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Yes! I assume you also know when it was built, so your turn, Wilson. Here is the full picture with the perfectly styled owners. Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted August 16, 2014 Share #6688 Posted August 16, 2014 Andreas, 1902/3 would be my guess for the Olds. Here is your next one. Not a great photo I am afraid as it was taken inside and there is a bit of camera shake plus this is a quite tight crop. Wilson Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted August 17, 2014 Share #6690 Posted August 17, 2014 Need a hint. This car although quite well known is not as famous as its sister cars. It usually seemed to be the bridesmaid rather than the bride. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photoskeptic Posted August 19, 2014 Share #6691 Posted August 19, 2014 Speed Six Bentley? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photoskeptic Posted August 19, 2014 Share #6692 Posted August 19, 2014 No, that's not right - I went and looked at a picture of the Speed Six and I'm not even close. The fairing around the driver's compartment (seen through the windscreen) and the wiper mounting through the windscreen should probably be big clues. Obviously a Brit, but having a full windscreen is throwing me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted August 19, 2014 Share #6695 Posted August 19, 2014 Earlier, much faster and not MG. Here is a crossword type clue: I used to live in a mews, by Napier’s Bones. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted August 19, 2014 Share #6696 Posted August 19, 2014 You make me think of Railtons, but I cannot recall any with louvers on the top of the bonnet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted August 19, 2014 Share #6697 Posted August 19, 2014 You make me think of Railtons, but I cannot recall any with louvers on the top of the bonnet. Later than Railton’s. Other than the land speed record cars and John Cobb’s Brooklands 24 Litre Broad Arrow Lion engined car, much faster, certainly than the Hudson Terraplane engined cars. It would still be faster than the Cobb circuit car. Work on the crossword clue, you should then get the answer. I can’t show any more of the car or it would be instantly recognisable.

stuny Posted August 20, 2014 Share #6698 Posted August 20, 2014 I had never encountered "Napier’s Bones" before and when I looked it up it made me think of the Curta calculator used in the pre-electronic calculator era by rally teams, suggesting a rally car. At the moment I seem to recall a UK auto being built in xxxx Mews, but cannot recall which car or which mews. Assuming I'm not off track, perhaps that reasoning will help sombody else get it.

wlaidlaw Posted August 20, 2014 Share #6699 Posted August 20, 2014 You have to look at where Napier lived. I was taught all about it as I went to a school with the same name. The car was not built in the answer but these cars were forever associated with the place. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
