And here's another puzzle from me. Can anyone tell us what this is?

Experts?

Thats a beautiful old English wheel ( what the Brits call a Wheeling Machine ) on the right in the pic.

So it must have been at the Coachbuilders that made it...

It would be more correct to describe them as an engineering company. They would perhaps be better known for their work on aircraft rather than cars, although they did work on both.

Sorry, but I missed this post earlier.

No Bristol connection at all. Although this company did work in the aeronautical sphere it did not, as far as I know, build aeroplanes, just parts of aeroplanes.

There is a resemblance but, no, it isn't, although there is a link between one of the engineers involved in this project and Armstrong Siddeley.

Got anything to do with Alvis?

D-type · November 25, 2009, 05:01:34 PM

Lanchester?

jimjarron · November 25, 2009, 10:08:35 PM

No connection with either Alvis or Lanchester, as far as I am aware.

Any relation to Invicta? It seems the company introduced a new range of cars in 1938...

Is it a Daimler perchance?

I knowe aren't supposed to ask two questions at once, but it is British isn't it?

Carnut · June 12, 2010, 06:03:02 PM
