Title: Arunas' #552 SOLVED: Start D6
Post by: Arunas on March 03, 2013, 10:09:33 AM: Here is a little bit mystery car.

One point is for correct identification of make and model.

Another intriguing question is if this is a factory bodywork or a coachbuilt version? If so, by which coachbuilder? I'd like to hear your opinions, because I do not know.

Not Skoda. I don't know if this bodywork is factory made or by some coachbuilder.

You did not, and that's a good question, of course.

CWS was from Poland, not Czech.

Start D6?
That's the car! Well done! :applause:

My source says that between 1925 and 1928 only three or four D6 were made.

Does anybody know anything about the bodywork? The same source says that two cars received two-seater sporty bodyworks, third one - convenient closed body, while the destiny of the fourth one (if any) is not know.

Please share, if you know anything more!
Title: Re: Arunas' #552 SOLVED: Start D6
Post by: Wendax on March 10, 2013, 04:58:42 PM: I don't have any further information about the coachwork. I found the D6 online in a listing, after searching for facts about František Petrásek's Start, because the "well documented" models seemed too old or too small to be the puzzle car. According to that list the D6 had a six-cylinder engine of two liter displacement and 22 hp, 4 cars built.

Post by: Bill Murray on March 10, 2013, 06:41:24 PM: Hi Arunus:

Sorry about the CWS error, my cross reference vis a vis vehicle/country was incorrect.

Even so, an interesting marque with a very small production was CWS and maybe a subject for future puzzles. ;D
