Looks to me like a British Daimler, even though the flutes on the radiator aren't well visible... |

We had the same car before: /vehicle_106177-unknown.html The radiator top is clearly not fluted. |

Unless someone comes up with a brilliant idea, this one probably is a Daimler after all. The flutes seem to be lost to the image resolution. There are only very few images available for comparison, but I think it matches this Daimler TE30 (1913) very well: http://www.madle.org/eec03jag.htm For the 45 hp mentioned on the other page I only found images from later models (1925+26) which did not match. I don't know if the 1920 models looked like the pre-war type. Comments? |

No comments or brilliant ideas, so far ... Looking at the images again I guess that the TE30's wheelbase is shorter. Therefore an early 1920s (or even pre war) 45 hp as suggested on the other page for the vehicle is most probable. |

I'm not quite so sure this one is a 45- could be a six cylinder 30. The body is 1914 style, either 'Maidstone' as a 30 or 'Sandford' as a 45. The 30 had an 11ft 9in wheelbase and the 45 12ft 2inches--so both were huge, and not very different dimensionally. Could be very early post war. The 30 produced all of 56bhp at 1,600 rpm, the 45 80bhp. In 1914, 860 and 1000 guineas respectively. (If you are not British, a guinea was a pound and a shilling, and there were 20 shillings to the pound....) |
