For 1 point tell me the year, make and model of this car.

There are three parts to the answer.

Craig Gillingham · October 13, 2012, 09:51:26 PM

Up to Expert level.

Is that one of the Stanley brothers in the front passenger seat?

I don't think so; the car isn't Stanley related.

Tackitt · October 14, 2012, 07:48:30 PM

It's a beautiful old picture. Is it in the U.S.?

Craig Gillingham · October 14, 2012, 08:03:16 PM

No, it's in Australia.

Mercedes, circa 1904?

No, not a Mercedes, and not as old as 1904.

Yes, LOCKED for you to tell me the year and type.

Manuel · October 15, 2012, 11:17:24 PM

Cam u give me time to investigate this?

Craig Gillingham · October 15, 2012, 11:59:20 PM

That's fine.

Manuel · October 17, 2012, 03:38:24 PM

Sorry Craig. I just don't have the time @ the moment. Takes me a while to go thru my books. They made a lot of different models before WW1 but the production numbers were very low.
Some models had huge engines in them.
I love the pic.

Manuel, no problem, I'll unlock this one.

Napier 60hp, circa 1907?

Craig Gillingham · October 17, 2012, 07:57:10 PM

QuoteNapier 60hp, circa 1907?

1907 is right (could also be 1906), but a bit smaller than 60hp. It also has a model name, 1 letter and 2 numbers. LOCKED for you until your next reply.

RayTheRat · October 18, 2012, 04:57:13 PM

Let's try this:

"The Model nomenclature that Napier's used originally prior to the 6 cylinder cars, was a letter followed sometimes by a number but from the 6 cylinder used type ( T ) numbers, not in chronological order to describe the different models."

So, using a bit of intuition and wild-assed guessing, I figger the T26 30hp would be a good candidate for that year range (1906-07).

Not quite, it's the next size up from 30hp, and not a T26 (doesn't start with a T). But it is a 6 cylinder. Still LOCKED for you for another attempt.

How about an L75, 40 hp?

Craig Gillingham · October 18, 2012, 08:34:45 PM

QuoteHow about an L75, 40 hp?

That's close enough, It's a 40hp L76.
