hektor Posted December 11, 2020 Share #14061 Posted December 11, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Good morning Stuart. I shouldn't take the credit for this one as I searched with the number plate / licence plate to find the answer, however: Welcome, dear visitor!

stuny Posted December 11, 2020 Share #14062 Posted December 11, 2020 I guess I should hide the number plates in the future. this one makes me think of a Boxster or Caiman. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.j.z Posted December 11, 2020 Share #14064 Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) I am confused, Ronald did not post!? Even I could have guessed this one 🙈 Here is more or less the same car: Welcome, dear visitor!

hektor Posted December 11, 2020 Share #14065 Posted December 11, 2020 Dear A.J.Z., Rona!d did indentify this Porsche, but for some reason sent it to me as a message rather than posting on this Forum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.j.z Posted December 11, 2020 Share #14066 Posted December 11, 2020 Yes, he does this if he does not want to spoil the game as he knows EVERYTHING! (or at least every car ...) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted December 12, 2020 Share #14068 Posted December 12, 2020 In that case, how about Wilson since he was the first to come up with Bugatti, and even in the "40" series." Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted December 12, 2020 Share #14069 Posted December 12, 2020 Gents, I´m running out of car pictures or time posting them quick, so I dropped a camouflaged hint with "crossing a desert" at the Bugatti riddle as I knew the story behind that model 40 (wasn´t sure if Stu would give that hint). Wilson and Hektor were equal, correct maker, wrong models. With the Porsche I had the same problem and Andreas understood that. I have dropped Hektor a private message not just about the Porsche but private in general. No need to publish the car as "solved riddle", should have letting it go on. Next question: Who´next? I´d suggest ANYONE who is quick enough to take the chance! I´m sure there are people who have a proper vehicle to post but didn´t have the chance because we are too quick in responding or the riddles are for insiders. I´d encourage everybody also to post non exotic cars! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Bugatti for example I had too general routes: French car with american flavor (hence the Bug) and - go figure: A special Ford Speedster/Runabout whatever mix of T Speedster rear and A model but the center locks made that unlikely. I often may know the directions to dig but many cars I have to check in my archive (yes, often in old books from the time before internet). Old car books are a real pleasure, sometimes you even find info the internet doesn´t "know". Sometimes "new knowledge" from the internet adds or corrects bugs in the books. Anyway seeing things on paper and thumb through a real book is pure pleasure to me. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted December 12, 2020 Share #14074 Posted December 12, 2020 I think I know what this car is but as I have nothing to post I will leave it to others. Rather nice to see a patinaed version rather than fully restored. We were offered what was purported to be one of the team le Mans cars but our expert found out when he was doing his inspection and provenance investigation, that it was a complete fake, with counterfeited chassis plate and engine numbers. It all was rather revealed when it turned out to have only a three speed gearbox oops! Wilson 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hektor Posted December 13, 2020 Share #14075 Posted December 13, 2020 Dear Wilson, I suspect you don't know what this car is. It does not have a three speed box. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim J Posted December 13, 2020 Share #14076 Posted December 13, 2020 Circa 1927 Turcat-Mery? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted December 13, 2020 Share #14078 Posted December 13, 2020 I was thinking it was a Lorraine-Dietrich B3-6. The one we looked at should have had a four speed box but had a three speed box out of a wholly different car. Wilson Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hektor Posted December 13, 2020 Share #14079 Posted December 13, 2020 Sorry Wilson, not a Lorraine-Dietrich of any type and not made in France. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted December 13, 2020 Share #14080 Posted December 13, 2020 The other car with a very similar shaped radiator is the Austro Daimler ADM from around 1923. Wilson Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
