Start E4?

[Bill Murray]

As much as I hate guessing, can it be a CWS T1 or T2??

The wheels are the same or very similar to those used on these cars.

CWS was from Poland, not Czech.

Start D6?

[Arunas]

Start D6?

That's the car! Well done!

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!

[Wendax]

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.

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.

Any chance we can see a picture of this without the words across it?
