Don't tell me it is Hungarian :). Is it from Central Europe?

To my knowledge, it isn't Hungarian and not from central Europe.

Kaisinsha Dattogo?

:scratch: nope.. I think not so obscure...

P.S. what is it? This Kaishina Dattogo

Kaisinsha was a distributor and assembler of British cars and produced a few cars of their own, called the Dattogo.

I am just running through all the pre 1st World War Japanese cars. This ain't no Mitsubishi Model A, so the predecessor of the Isuzu remains as my sole possibility.

Kunisue?

Post by: Arunas on August 22, 2009, 12:35:44 PM
The source I have taken this picture from is not very reliable and full of nonsenses, so the name given could be wrong, but still it's not Kunisue..

The last one, active pre-1920 (Yamaba apart) that I remember is Tokio, a 3.6 litre from 1910.

And that's the name I was looking for! Is it really  a Tokio - I don't know, but one point goes to nobody else but PJ.

This is what I have about this:
Tokio (J) 1911-1912
4-cylinder model of 3656cc built in limited production in collaboration with Kunishue of Tokio.
