Advertisement Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 Hi NigelG, Take a look here Name this car.... . I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Rona!d Posted April 6, 2021 Share #15062 Posted April 6, 2021 Knew the front end will irritate you gents 😉 As it raced a couple of years in this new outfit and the 2nd gen models looked similar I thought its not impossible. This body is really nice, no complaints the owner decided this change. Always like watching HWMs racing. Hope this could compensate the strange tourist retro vehicle from my last riddle.

Rona!d Posted April 6, 2021 Share #15063 Posted April 6, 2021 One info in #15124 was wrong. Can‘t be 2011 when I said car was green and had the old front (that was from a 3rd party link with photo) because I shot the riddle photo back in 2004. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my perspective it was very much a case of being educational rather than irritating. I've never seen a 2nd Gen. HWM before so Every Day Is a School Day! Thanks for the links, too. Fascinating stuff. Philip. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted April 9, 2021 Share #15067 Posted April 9, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Sorry Stuart - both our office printers decided to die over the last few days. I have taken them apart and cleaned all the connections to print heads and internal cards and put in new cartridges with no luck. There is a big shortage of new printers in the UK due to the lunacy of Brexit and I cannot find any ink tank type printers in stock at a reasonable cost, that do automatic duplex (needed for my wife's patient record cards and reports), so tearing my hair out at the moment. New car will have to wait until this problem is sorted. My wife is asking every hour - "can we print yet?" Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted April 9, 2021 Share #15068 Posted April 9, 2021 Wilson - You seem to have skipped the most important repair tactic: open the window and curse as loudly as yo can at the printer. Good luck with the solution. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted April 9, 2021 Share #15069 Posted April 9, 2021 They are going to have their first flying lesson this afternoon. Ordered a printer but then noticed that although duplex printing was mentioned in the header, it was not in the technical spec. Checked on Epson's website where it said: "Duplex printing: Manual". What a load of BS. Any printer in the world can do manual duplex printing where you have to turn the paper over and reinsert. It is like claiming the printer has an automatic ink supply. I had to cancel that printer but then I found that the more expensive model of Epson Ecotank small office printer was out of stock everywhere, so I am going to have to spend hours phoning round trying to find stock at less than gouging price. Some people, who do have stock, are offering it at 50% over RRP, in the current printer shortage in the UK. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted April 9, 2021 Share #15070 Posted April 9, 2021 Wilson, ask your wife to make a video of the flying lesson. Post the moment of impact - would be the perfect substitute for a car shot and we have to guess which printers you have smashed 🤔 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham (G4FUJ) Posted April 9, 2021 Share #15071 Posted April 9, 2021 Went through a similar process earlier this year Wilson. Ended up with something of lower spec than I really wanted, but needed a printer. PITA! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted April 9, 2021 Share #15072 Posted April 9, 2021 Graham, We have a big Epson pigment ink photo printer which I have switched on and put in some A4 plain paper but it is quite expensive to run for day to day printing, so I have requested minimal printing be done and of course it doesn't do double sided. I have an Epson Eco-tank ET-2750 office printer on order from a commercial computer equipment supplier (CCL) in Bradford, oddly the same people I bought the big photo printer from. Not cheap at £268 but it does come with enough ink for about the next 5 years use. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted April 10, 2021 Share #15073 Posted April 10, 2021 Wilson, that printer sounds great for frequent private use. 70ml ink/color, wow. My little Canon TS 8250 prints very good but costs a lot more with its ink cartridges with internal print heads. Can you empty the cleaning tank/sponch? The predecessor (6250) of my 8250 came up with a message „cleaning tank full, ask service“. Called Canon service and they said I shall print until the printer completely stops working (it will stop when tank estimated as full). Then I shall just buy a new printer, they allegedly cannot service the old one - too expensive. It would be so easy, they just have to replace the ink sponge. That I hated but had to get a quick replacement. That offers even smaller ink tanks for a higher price. Grrr. Considered to open the old printer and clean the sponge, but as the filling grade is just estimated by a software counter, that needs to be resetted as well (otherwise printer denies work) and all the old button combo tricks do not work anymore.

wlaidlaw Posted April 10, 2021 Share #15074 Posted April 10, 2021 Ronald, Epson very sensibly make the waste ink tanks replaceable on the ET-2750. I came across the full waste and non-emptyable or replaceable receptacle on my previous A3+ photo printer, a Canon Pixma Pro-1 (the worst printer I have ever bought) and swore I would never buy another printer without replaceable ink waste tank. My UK A3+ photo printer, an Epson XP-15000 has a replaceable waste ink reservoir. In France I have an A2 size Epson Stylus Pro 3880 photo printer, which when not in use over the winter, sits with 9 third party refillable cartridges in it, all filled with print head cleaning fluid (Jon Cone's Piezoflush in Inkjetmall cartridges). Obviously I have to do a fair bit of print head flushing each time I change over between the cleaning cartridges and Epson ink cartridges and over the years I have got through 3 waste ink receptacles but the printer has never had a print head blockage, even though left unused for many months at a time. Most Canon printers seem to do regular and frequent head cleans on a scheduled basis, irrespective of their usage. This wastes a lot of ink and fills up the waste reservoir. HP and Epson printers only seem to a head clean either when first powered up or when requested and not when just left on stand-by. Every time I came to use my Canon Pixma Pro-1, it needed one or other of its 12 tiny (27ml) but expensive cartridges replacing, as its contents had all been p***ed away in unnecessary head cleaning.

Rona!d Posted April 10, 2021 Share #15075 Posted April 10, 2021 Pixma Pro-1 has no replaceable waste ink tank and Canon does not offer a service for that? A shame! In winter I considered buying a new LFP but the tests were a desaster according to my "wish list". My old HP 850 inkjet which I used in the office is still working and I can still get ink cartridges. That I bought in the mid 1990s! It still prints from an old PC which is not connected to internet. Was 1.000,- DM but ink tanks are big. Had three HP roll paper Designjets over the years, the latest one still works great. To hell with 14 inks, 6 are still enough to handle. Interesting to read about your french printer. Fluid change when not in use sounds like with old cars 😉 I decided to send my files to print services when I need something special. Too much hazzle and non-use here. Clients get PDFs today. In the past they wanted full size test prints of their designs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Z. Goriup Posted April 11, 2021 Share #15077 Posted April 11, 2021 I want to say Austin (mid -to-late '30s ) but I say so with a low degree oif confidence fseveral reasons: I don't know very much about that period of english cars, I'm not sure Austin ever had 'suicide doors' , and the sidevents and hardware somehow don't look correct for an Austin................but I tried.

NigelG Posted April 11, 2021 Share #15078 Posted April 11, 2021 Venting definitely looks wrong for an Austin (my initial first thought too.)I was wondering about a Salmson (Later S4 of some type) but I think the grille detail is too fine and maybe the screen angle is wrong. Hmm - does seem familiar. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted April 11, 2021 Share #15080 Posted April 11, 2021 John is correct with it being from the mid-to-late '30s and it is, as you both guessed, of British manufacture. The company is rather famous for one of its earlier creations - although not a car - some 5 decades before this model was built. Next snap; Welcome, dear visitor!
