Title: Solved: Postcards & Collectors Cards
Post by: Allemano on July 06, 2011, 10:42:12 AM
A variation on a theme, but this time I needed only two images to upload..   ;)

Please match the cars with the places. As usual one point for each correct pairing!
Only complete ID'd cars and locations will win!

Hope this puzzle is a little more difficult than the last one.
Wendax solved it almost alone, so, roll your sleeves up!  :D

Car #3 / Cowley MkIV. Built in the early seventies by the initiative designer Bill Cowely, who’s earlier cars had include elastic band suspension, this car had many well thought out design features - not least its mid-engined layout. In a class noted for small, lightweight cars, this one stood out by being of go-cart proportions. Not withstanding the fact it was the only car with a roof! it still managed to be one of the lowest F750s racing at the time. (most of the drivers in clubman style cars in this racecould see over the white hardboard behind the car.) A very low frontal area was achieved by placing the engine and gearbox behind the driver. To achieve a mid-engine layout and still retain the beam axel, the gearbox, which was situated just behind the driver’s left shoulder, was attached by means of a short propshaft to the diff. The engine was turned through 180 degrees and placed alongside the gearbox facing backwards, the two being clamped to an aluminium adaptor plate. To provide drive, a toothed belt joined the output shaft of the engine to the input shaft of the gearbo

Place H / The Plaza de España is a building in Maria Luisa Park, in Seville, Spain built in 1928 for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929
Mr Puzzell, you really left me speechless.
It's right of course, but I do have a very clear and easy (not only tenuous) connection for this. And it's indeed "Spain" somehow...

Locked for you.

This connection is tenuous, as I cannot link more than the coutnry of Span, but here goes:

Car #14 / 1927 Motores y Automóviles Ricart 226, built by Spaniard Wifredo Ricart, who would later be the father of the Pegaso

OK - let's try this: A 50th Anniversary Pegaso exhibit was held at the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona
March 21st through June 4th, 2001. Barcelona was Wifredo Ricart'S birthplace.

No. In fact it's much easier. I've already said the place you've mentioned before is correct.

In that case, it's:

I / DAF Museum Eindhoven

only car #8 and #14 are still unsolved.

I would have guessed #14 is one of the easiest...

#8 is a little tricky and I'm very proud to found that connection. ;D

You don't have to rub it in - my Spanish skills are weak, I know.  :shiner:

Well, this has been a struggle, but I think I have finally identified Car #8, the small 4-wheel steering transporter, as a Trenkle A52.

The link is obviously with Place L, the magnificent viaduct, and this is the Mintarder Brücke, which crosses the Ruhr valley near Mülheim in Germany, and which forms part of the A52 autobahn running between Essen and Düsseldorf.

I'm not absolutely sure about the last one, but it's been established that Car #14 is the 1927 Ricart 266.

In 1928 Wifredo Ricart joined forces with the founder of the recently collapsed España car company, to make cars under the name Ricart-España. That would then provide a tenuous link to Place H, the Plaza de España in Seville, built in the same year.

Absolutely! It is a Ricart-España which matches the Plaza de España in Seville. Simple as that!

But the puzzle car is not a Ricartt-España.

I was being to literal, to my own detriment.  :shiner:
Title: Re: Postcards & Collectors Cards
Post by: Tom_I on July 17, 2011, 05:09:18 AM
I'd have to agree with Otto. If I've understood correctly the car shown was one of two prototypes made by Motores y Automóviles Ricart, a company which he established in 1926, and which pre-dated the link-up with España. That's why I wasn't sure it was the right answer!
Title: Re: Postcards & Collectors Cards
Post by: Allemano on July 17, 2011, 07:14:41 AM
Oh I see... apologize, but I believed it acutally IS a Ricart-España.
I think I remove this car from the result board then.
