Title: Solved: NTM #46 - Ninon Mototri
Post by: ftg3plus4 on April 07, 2010, 08:49:02 AM
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.

Post by: ftg3plus4 on April 08, 2010, 10:28:28 AM
Nope. And not close, geographically or (from what I can find) visually.
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: Oguerrerob on April 08, 2010, 11:49:33 AM
Well, what about this? Motocarro Guzzi, Veicoli da Trasporto
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: ftg3plus4 on April 08, 2010, 11:58:25 AM
Much closer, on both counts, but still not it.

EMW

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

E.B.S.  by Ernst Bauermeister & Sohne 1924 Berlin (Germany)
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: ftg3plus4 on April 10, 2010, 06:28:32 PM
Nope - same wrong country, and the vehicle pictured is a little later than that.
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: Oguerrerob on April 11, 2010, 12:49:56 PM
Motocarro Iso
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: ftg3plus4 on April 11, 2010, 04:28:40 PM
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
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: ftg3plus4 on April 12, 2010, 07:56:46 AM
Sorry, it's not Italian.

Harley Davidson FXDC Dyna Super Glide Custom

Nope - You were on the right track looking in Europe.
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: Oguerrerob on April 12, 2010, 06:23:54 PM
1957 Motocarro R.O.A. Spain
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: ftg3plus4 on April 12, 2010, 06:27:09 PM
Not Spain, and an earlier date.

Post by: Oguerrerob on April 12, 2010, 07:41:08 PM
Jawa Riksa, Czech Republic
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: ftg3plus4 on April 13, 2010, 07:34:34 AM
Nope, a more common car-making country. This was made by a motorcycle company and was its only foray into "cars."
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: Oguerrerob on April 13, 2010, 10:10:41 AM
Triumph from UK
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: ftg3plus4 on April 13, 2010, 10:20:51 AM
Nope. Another common car-making country that hasn't been referenced yet.

French?
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: ftg3plus4 on April 13, 2010, 01:09:38 PM
Oui!
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: guido66 on April 13, 2010, 01:18:27 PM
Dollar?
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: ftg3plus4 on April 13, 2010, 01:35:34 PM
You mean, is that the name? No.
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: guido66 on April 13, 2010, 04:38:00 PM
Dax?
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: ftg3plus4 on April 13, 2010, 09:21:30 PM
Nope.
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: guido66 on April 14, 2010, 12:43:58 PM
M. Rocher?
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: ftg3plus4 on April 14, 2010, 12:57:49 PM
Nope.

French motorcycle manufacturer, active for a short time in the '30s.
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: Oguerrerob on April 14, 2010, 05:17:59 PM
Peugeot
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: ftg3plus4 on April 15, 2010, 07:39:07 AM
No. Like I said, not a name you'd see on "cars" besides this one.
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: ftg3plus4 on April 16, 2010, 03:06:47 PM
OK, I think this one is ready to be inflicted on the Pros...
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: Oguerrerob on April 21, 2010, 08:19:41 AM
Motocar Soriano 1940, France
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: ftg3plus4 on April 21, 2010, 08:30:37 AM
Nope. And the company was only active in the early '30s.
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: ftg3plus4 on May 21, 2010, 08:57:01 AM
OK, this has had a month of no activity. I think it's Black Hole time.

Post by: faksta on May 21, 2010, 09:26:36 AM
Suzy?
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: ftg3plus4 on May 21, 2010, 09:34:52 AM
Nope, not quite that short-lived. But whatever list you found Suzy in probably has the right answer.
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: faksta on May 21, 2010, 09:36:29 AM
Maybe a Carpio then?
'My' list is well known.
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: ftg3plus4 on May 21, 2010, 09:43:55 AM
Nope, but keep going. More toward the middle of the alphabet.
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: faksta on May 21, 2010, 09:44:37 AM
Like Hasty?
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: ftg3plus4 on May 21, 2010, 09:53:01 AM
Not there yet. Keep going!
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: faksta on May 21, 2010, 09:55:31 AM
It's a pure guessing based on a country and years, as I can't find any background information about almost any motorcycle from the list which fits the criteria somehow...

But still...Magda?
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: ftg3plus4 on May 21, 2010, 10:03:47 AM
Still not there, but close. Your guessing based on country & years should get you there soon.
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: faksta on May 21, 2010, 10:07:01 AM
Ninon? I've found a reference to Ninon models, and there were only two-wheelers as far as I can guess by the specs. Maybe it was incomplete, though...
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: ftg3plus4 on May 21, 2010, 11:04:19 AM
That's the make! Can you find the model?
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: faksta on May 21, 2010, 12:47:36 PM
Not yet. If anyone would be faster, just go on.
Title: Re: NTM #46
Post by: ftg3plus4 on May 21, 2010, 12:54:37 PM
OK, well, you'll get a point for finding the make.

Another point will be given to whoever finds the model name. It's out there on the web to be found, and it's a word that clearly evokes "3-wheeled vehicle."
Title: Re: NTM #46 (almost solved!)
Post by: faksta on May 21, 2010, 01:09:02 PM
Is it just Ninon Tricycle maybe?  ::)
Title: Re: NTM #46 (almost solved!)
Post by: pnegyesi on May 21, 2010, 01:15:37 PM
Here it says cyclecar-trimoteur:

Post by: guido66 on May 21, 2010, 01:17:00 PM
Triporteur?
Title: Re: NTM #46 (almost solved!)
Post by: ftg3plus4 on May 21, 2010, 01:19:12 PM
Nope on all of the above. I have to admit that the missing word may be a model name or just a description.

Just for the heck of it, here's another pic I just found:
Title: Re: NTM #46 (almost solved!)
Post by: 75america on May 21, 2010, 01:36:24 PM
Mototri
Title: Re: NTM #46 (almost solved!)
Post by: ftg3plus4 on May 21, 2010, 01:54:43 PM
That's it!

One point for faksta & one for 75america.
