hektor Posted August 29, 2020 Share #13501 Posted August 29, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) My recollection is the "Käfer" cabriolet by Dannhauer & Strauss being built in the early fifties. This is not one of them, although it was fitted with a Volkswagen Type 1 engine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 Hi hektor, Take a look here Name this car..... I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
m410 Posted August 29, 2020 Share #13502 Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) How about a Karman -Ghia around 1965? Not sure of year. Yours? Edited August 29, 2020 by m410 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hektor Posted August 29, 2020 Share #13503 Posted August 29, 2020 Yes, a Type 14 Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia (not mine). I don't know the exact year of this car but it is post 1961. When fitted with a later 1719.4 cc Shasta big bore kit they were IMHO a nicer car than the Porsche 356. Welcome, dear visitor!

andybarton Posted August 29, 2020 Share #13504 Posted August 29, 2020 If I had any money, which I don’t, I’d buy as near a perfect Karmann Ghia as I could find and I’d wave graciously at passers-by as I tootled along to the next classic car show. One of the best looking cars ever made in my humble opinion. Thanks for sharing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Andy, I still have your shot of the lighthouse at New Brighton Wirral as one of my screen-savers. Yes the Karmann-Ghia has everything, looks and brains.

andybarton Posted August 29, 2020 Share #13506 Posted August 29, 2020 Good man, Justin! Thanks I wish I’d kept a copy of the Telegraph calendar that year - I think that shot was Miss September 😊 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted August 29, 2020 Share #13507 Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Excuse me for posting these out of turn but I would like these two cars identified and I don't know what they are. I was looking for some turn of the last century photos in my Grandfather's photo album at the request of the archivist for a small town in Scotland, where they lived (I didn't find any of what she wanted) but found the two below. The caption on the older car was as follows: "Our car and driver waiting to take us to the station after lunch with the mayor, Palace Hotel, Aberdeen, 2 Sept 1906". The undated caption on the second is: "John's car being refuelled at Town and Country Garage, Aberdeen." Now I would assume that would refer to my Great Uncle John (whose 1934 Leica model III I still have) but I thought he always had Lanchester or Daimler cars and it is neither of those. Maybe a 30HP Armstrong Siddeley. Wilson PS I wonder if the older car might be a Wolseley 12HP? Welcome, dear visitor!

Jim J Posted August 29, 2020 Share #13508 Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) The first one is a Wolseley, 1902 at the earliest (the year the stepped radiator was introduced) and 1905 at the latest (the year that the horizontal engined cars were discontinued). Determining the actual model is not so easy, although I don't think it's a four cylinder car, as their bonnets were a bit longer, and it looks a bit big for a single cylindered car. My guess (and it is a guess) is that it's a 10 or 12hp twin cylinder Wolseley. Edited August 29, 2020 by Jim J (forgot an apostrophe) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hektor Posted August 29, 2020 Share #13509 Posted August 29, 2020 William, IMHO the second car is as you said an Armstrong Siddeley, however it is not possible to distinguish from the photo whether it is a 20HP or 30HP. Great shots nevertheless. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hektor Posted August 29, 2020 Share #13511 Posted August 29, 2020 William, would the records at Swansea be able to identify the car by its number plate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted August 29, 2020 Share #13512 Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) RG was an Aberdeen registration, whereas I would have expected my great uncle's car to have had an SE registration for Banffshire, so this might have been a loan car. Being Aberdeen registered and knowing how careful Aberdonians are with their money, I suspect it would have been the 20HP, with the 30HP/5 litre being far too profligate with fuel The picture of the Armstrong was a horrible photo, exceedingly contrasty and underexposed. If you lighten it like Hektor has done, some more of what little detail there is, blows out. The much better quality photo of the Wolseley, was obviously professionally taken, as it has a Press and Journal, the local Aberdeen daily newspaper, stamp on the back.

m410 Posted August 30, 2020 Share #13519 Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) Seems like a good deal of nice exchange going on. Hate to interrupt with an I.D. car post but here it goes. The special version of this machine was built/offered worldwide from years 1986 to 1992 in four different body configurations. They were built in a different factory and in a different country than the "standard" models. What is the make, model name and the special feature? Bonus points for the four body configurations. The mudflap is a key I.D. element. jDD Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

a.j.z Posted August 30, 2020 Share #13520 Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) Looks like a 4WD/cross country version of a not too expensive car. Michelin tires but they nay have been added later. I was thinking of something like a Fiat Panda 4x4. European? Edited August 30, 2020 by a.j.z 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
