Last batch of the year..

In the absence of rookies... a giveaway for the experts?

The obvious answer would be a VW Golf Mk1 but I guess that is too easy...

guido66 · January 03, 2010, 10:15:07 AM

You're right about the car, but what's special about it?

There isn't a radiator, and that seems a V6 engine.

guido66 · January 04, 2010, 01:10:44 PM

No radiator indeed, but not a V6

Looks like a 3 cylinder engine - could still be water cooled as the pipes seem to be in place it is just missing the rad.

I'm guessing this is a test bed for the engine.

As far as I can tell no parts are missing. Just close the bonnet and she's ready to go!

Could that be a steam engine?

guido66 · January 05, 2010, 02:04:53 PM

not a steam engine...

gilescooperuk · January 05, 2010, 02:09:35 PM

Stirling engine

guido66 · January 05, 2010, 02:26:21 PM

No, not that either

D-type · January 05, 2010, 04:02:59 PM

3 cylinders suggests it might be a Wartburg engine.

Joao Gois · January 06, 2010, 08:20:33 AM

Or could it be a Wankel engine?

guido66 · January 06, 2010, 02:26:57 PM

Not a Wartburg or a Wankel engine.

Joao Gois · January 06, 2010, 05:05:10 PM

Is it a "conventional" engine?

guido66 · January 06, 2010, 05:15:38 PM

Not really, this car is in a museum, dedicated to the creator of this engine

Carnut · January 06, 2010, 06:53:29 PM

Is it in Australia?

Joao Gois · January 06, 2010, 08:32:06 PM

Miller cycle?

guido66 · January 07, 2010, 02:48:05 AM

not in Australia and not a Miller cycle engine

pnegyesi · January 07, 2010, 03:01:02 AM

Is this museum located in Europe?

guido66 · January 07, 2010, 05:36:43 AM

Yes, it's in Europe

pnegyesi · January 07, 2010, 05:46:38 AM

Hmmmmm, I did not see it in CH, B, NL, S, most of CEE and Russia. Did I miss something or is this in another country?

Joao Gois · January 07, 2010, 09:10:26 AM

Does that engine work on petrol / diesel at all?

You really should ask all of these one at a time

To save you some time: It's indeed in another country
