Rona!d Posted January 17, 2021 Share #14382 Posted January 17, 2021 Meanwhile you might enjoy this "Petrolicious video about the last riddle car" on Youtube. And I think we rarely get such nice video footage about exactely our riddle cars. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelG Posted January 17, 2021 Share #14383 Posted January 17, 2021 I think we got caught out by a Peerless sometime before...? 🤔 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted January 18, 2021 Share #14384 Posted January 18, 2021 I, for one, am very pleased that we had the Peerless. Probably 30+ years ago I did once understand the relationships between Peerless, Warwick and Gordon-Keeble and had clearly forgotten (almost) everything I had learned. Having had the desire to remind myself of 'how it all worked' and googled the linked story behind all three marques I'm now in a position where it can all be forgotten once again! Cheers!

wlaidlaw Posted January 18, 2021 Share #14385 Posted January 18, 2021 in the mid 1960's, after the family textile factories and businesses had been sold, my father was lining up to buy the ex-Autocar road test Gordon Keeble. My brother and I came back from university to find he had changed his mind and bought a new Ruddspeed Volvo 123GT instead. We were not pleased!

a.j.z Posted January 19, 2021 Share #14394 Posted January 19, 2021 Ok, because the rear flap looks pretty similar, including the handle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Z. Goriup Posted January 20, 2021 Share #14397 Posted January 20, 2021 I will stick my neck out and say that I believe we're looking at a '37 or '38 Horch 853 cabriolet with Erdmann & Rossi coachwork; the reason I may sound somewhat less than completely certain is that most of the 853 Erdmanns I've seen were more upscale and luxurious.... with covers over the spare tire(s) and more bling.

Rona!d Posted January 20, 2021 Share #14398 Posted January 20, 2021 You are getting closer, John. 1938 and Erdmann & Rossi is correct. Model not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted January 20, 2021 Share #14400 Posted January 20, 2021 I often wondered why Horch stuck with those cheap looking bolt on wire wheels. It is not as if the cars were cheap. To my eyes they somewhat detract from the look of what were often the prettiest of all German 1930's cabriolets. I would actually prefer steel disc wheels to those. Would that be an 830BL model with a V8 rather than straight eight? I think the V8 Horch cars are nicer to drive than the big Mercedes cabriolets 380/500/540K of the same period, albeit considerably slower.
