I know only the maker and the coachbuilder. That's what I need to give you a point.

4popoid · May 25, 2013, 01:20:18 PM

Italian?

targhediferro · May 25, 2013, 01:37:08 PM

Neither the maker nor the coachbuilder are Italian.

4popoid · May 25, 2013, 08:25:11 PM

French?

targhediferro · May 26, 2013, 02:47:24 AM

Nothing French.

ropat53 · May 26, 2013, 01:30:24 PM

British, with a colonial style body?

4popoid · May 26, 2013, 01:59:07 PM

Wolseley from about 1912?

targhediferro · May 26, 2013, 04:34:14 PM

Yes Wolseley! Locked for 4popoid to add the coachbuilder.

4popoid · May 26, 2013, 08:52:30 PM

Wolseley by H.A. Hamshaw Ltd.?

targhediferro · May 27, 2013, 12:38:55 AM

Not that one.

4popoid · May 27, 2013, 01:10:03 AM

Wolseley by Mulliner?

targhediferro · May 27, 2013, 04:40:50 AM

Not Mulliner, two shots more.

4popoid · May 27, 2013, 07:07:40 PM

Well, this one is turning out to be more difficult than I expected, as I, incorrectly, was pretty sure that the coachbuilder was Hamshaw. I guess that I still think the coachbuilder is British, although perhaps not as well known as first thought. I'll try: Wolseley by Cockshoot.

targhediferro · May 28, 2013, 02:03:39 AM

No, the coachbuilder is not british.

4popoid · May 30, 2013, 01:48:07 AM

Well, if the coachbuilder is not British, my first hunch, that this was an export (colonial) model, might be correct after all. If this was a chassis exported to one of the Commonwealth coumtries, I will guess Australia, and thus an Australian coachbuilder. Hence, I will try: Wolseley by G.H.Olding & Sons.

targhediferro · May 30, 2013, 02:26:10 AM

Not colonial...so not Australian.

4popoid · May 30, 2013, 04:16:17 PM

With Italy, France, Britain and the colonies ruled out, I guess that I will have to try the Low Countries. Wolseley by Pennock?

targhediferro · May 30, 2013, 04:45:52 PM

Not Pennock, but right country! I should unlock, but as you guessed the country I give you one chance more.

4popoid · May 31, 2013, 12:09:01 AM

Thanks for the lock extension. I trust I can profit from your generosity. For my final chance I will go with a firm that has earned me past points, and say: Wolseley by Schutter & van Bakel.

targhediferro · May 31, 2013, 01:00:38 AM

Sorry, not that one, a more oscure one. Unlocked.

4popoid · May 31, 2013, 02:05:43 AM

Wolseley by Akkermans?

4popoid · May 31, 2013, 02:43:59 AM

Disregard my previous post, as I just located the answer. The correct answer is: Wolseley (6 cyl.) by G. J. Donderwinkel of Doesburg, Netherlands.

targhediferro · May 31, 2013, 03:41:13 AM

Perfect! A well deserved point for you.
