Never started a puzzle with the Experts before, but I'm going to do that this time.

What is this contraption? Make & model, please. (Sorry for the poor photo quality.)

Sanrinsha. Japanese military Trike.

ftg3plus4

Nope. And not close, geographically or (from what I can find) visually.

Well, what about this? Motocarro Guzzi, Veicoli da Trasporto

ftg3plus4

Much closer, on both counts, but still not it.

Nope. Wrong country, and the vehicle pictured is from an earlier timeframe.

E.B.S.  by Ernst Bauermeister & Sohne 1924 Berlin (Germany)

ftg3plus4

Nope - same wrong country, and the vehicle pictured is a little later than that.

Oguerrerob


ftg3plus4

Nope. Still the wrong country. 1924 is the closest date to the correct one so far (unless one of the others named was made much earlier than I could tell). Believe it or not, the vehicle pictured is listed as an "automobile" by my source.

I've found four similar Italians cargo trikes Grif-Car by Guazzoni; Frera TLL 1938; Benelli and Gilera

ftg3plus4

Sorry, it's not Italian.

Harley Davidson FXDC Dyna Super Glide Custom

Nope - You were on the right track looking in Europe.

1957 Motocarro R.O.A. Spain

ftg3plus4

Not Spain, and an earlier date.

Oguerrerob

Jawa Riksa, Czech Republic

ftg3plus4

Nope, a more common car-making country. This was made by a motorcycle company and was its only foray into "cars."

ftg3plus4

Nope. Another common car-making country that hasn't been referenced yet.
