wlaidlaw Posted February 9, 2023 Share #19243 Posted February 9, 2023 Might the car be a Bugatti 101? Maybe a Chapron bodied one? Wilson Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelG Posted February 9, 2023 Share #19244 Posted February 9, 2023 I was wondering if it was Beutler- bodied? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted February 9, 2023 Share #19245 Posted February 9, 2023 I was wondering about it being a Talbot-Lago. T-26 perhaps? Very best of good fortune, Wilson! Philip. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 1948, but I do not know which coach builder did this one - Many coach builders made T-L bodies. It's a large car with a straight six engine. Your tun. Welcome, dear visitor!

I believe, Stuart, that the small script-logo to the south of the near-side screen-frame will say 'Graber'...

pippy Posted February 10, 2023 Share #19249 Posted February 10, 2023 (edited) OK; how about this one? Clearly the fine detailing shows it to be the work of a highly-skilled Artisanal Manufacturer whose creations must surely be extremely desirable and whose name must be known the world over!

No, neither a Darracq nor a V8 although you are in the correct country! Half the number of pistons by comparison and was crafted way out East of the capital. I've been trying to discover more about the quiz-car but Slim-Pickings so far. I snapped it whilst visiting a museum but having just checked it seems that the car is no longer in their collection. A search using google brought up just one(!) picture of this example and details accompanying the image were equally scarce. I do have a photo of the caption but, again, details are, in general, notable by their absence... Not being au fait with this marque, myself, I'm a bit out on a limb to put it mildly. I know that it was built in 1923 and also the general model name (it was quite long-lived and a couple of thousand were manufactured) but from what I can gather the model could take any one of three type-numbers depending on wheelbase. Not having thought to bring a measuring tape with me on the trip... I believe some of the ironmongery visible in this pic is common to many examples as it features on a number of these cars as photographed & posted on the www; Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted February 13, 2023 Share #19256 Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) I use the Excelsior Competition H racing tyres in 4.00" x 19", made for these cars, on the front of my Morgan Three Wheeler. They are a huge improvement on the Avon motorcycle sidecar tyres that Morgan supplied on it. The owner of this vehicle could do with buying some new Excelsiors! Coker, the company that owns Excelsior bought a number of the sets of moulds from Michelin, when they reduced the range of vintage race tyres that they make. The Excelsiors are less than half the price of three stud Dunlop Vintage Racers and pretty much as good. Wilson Welcome, dear visitor!

Graham (G4FUJ) Posted February 16, 2023 Share #19260 Posted February 16, 2023 Never seen a windscreen like it on a Bugatti I should have got it earlier due to the radiator shape. Unfortunately, until I can get out to a few classic or Prescott meetings, I still have nothing to post, so it's open to anyone to post the next challenge. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
