hektor Posted August 4, 2020 Share #13343  Posted August 4, 2020 I should remove my previous entry. IMHO the hinges are from an Austin Gipsy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted August 4, 2020 Share #13345  Posted August 4, 2020 The Gipsy with its trailing arm Moulton rubber independent suspension was somewhat more comfortable than a Landie. It's weak points were cost, rust, usual BL electrical gremlins and vague steering, particularly in the wet. The later versions (? Mk.4 LWB) with leaf springs were less comfortable but supposedly had better steering (I was never able to detect this). I bought one when we were rebuilding the 16th century cottage that my wife and I had bought and needed a builder's truck. I soon got fed up with electrical and rust problems and swapped it for a ex-military Land Rover Mk.2 Aeroportable. Now as that had to be parachutable, it really had hard suspension, with large hard rubber spheres between the leaf springs and the chassis. I took them out. Wilson 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmo Posted August 8, 2020 Share #13355  Posted August 8, 2020 Sorry for the delay. I had as my first car a citroen GS and my father in law had the Pallas version. Now for the new one quit a generous crop but that's because it is a deceiving one because I'm looking for the actual car though I looks like something else.

hektor Posted August 8, 2020 Share #13356 Â Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) Renault Dauphine (1956-1967) with after-market wheels. Edited August 8, 2020 by hektor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted August 8, 2020 Share #13357  Posted August 8, 2020 It always makes me laugh when I see the badge "Aerostable" on the back of a Dauphine, as they were neither aerodynamic nor stable. I was told that the rubber chamber air assist springs on the rear suspension only lasted a few thousand miles before they leaked their air and lost all of the small effect that they had. My mother had the "sports coupé" version of the R8 development of the Dauphine, the Caravelle and a pretty dreadful car or maybe dreadful pretty car it was, with a horribly vague springy gearchange and weird handling, not that my mother ever drove it fast enough to find out. Aren't those Gordini wheels or maybe replicas? Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim J Posted August 8, 2020 Share #13358  Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) Given that it looks like a Renault Dauphine, and we are told that it isn't what it initially appears to be, could it be a Dauphine Alfa Romeo?

hektor Posted August 8, 2020 Share #13360  Posted August 8, 2020 Differences with the French model were: electricity (Magneti-Marelli) 12 Volts, different (Carello) lights, and the logo "Dauphine Alfa Romeo" or "Ondine Alfa Romeo" (for the luxury version, the Ondine). Between 1959 and 1964 Alfa built more than 70,000 Dauphines and Ondines.
