It's from 1910, but that's all I know.

This date sounds quite reasonable - however I need some more facts of course...

I have no proof, as yet, but, I think this might be a 1909 Jackson 699 cc - single cylinder tri-car, by Reynold-Jackson & Co. Ltd. of Notting Hill, London. Perhaps this info. will allow another AutoPuzzler to locate a photo.

grobmotorix · « **Reply #10 on:** September 09, 2015, 02:45:49 AM »

I also was not able to find a photo

However as soon as a proof photo might unearth, this point will be yours...

Spence is probably right. My source said that the car was built for bad roads, and the 1910 Reynold-Jackson was described back then as "The three-wheeled automobile illustrated is one of an order of 50 for exportation to Costa Rica, and built by Messrs. Reynold Jackson at Notting Hill Gate, London, W". Unfortunately I don't know the picture that came with that description.
Does anybody happen to own either "Car: A Journal of Travel by Land, Sea and Air", No. 413 from May 4, 1910 or the "Veteran & Vintage Magazine" where it is covered in the "Sixty Years Ago" column?

Thank you!

I've found this picture but I can't read german

Wendax · « **Reply #14 on:** December 09, 2015, 08:34:18 AM »

This seems to be the missing link. The text doesn't mention its builder, but that it was built for Costa Rica which fits with the description of the 1910 Reynold-Jackson.

Thanks for let me know what is about

grobmotorix · « **Reply #16 on:** December 19, 2015, 08:05:18 AM »

Thank you Oguerrerob.

This was the proof for 4popoid´s 1910 Reynold-Jackson guess.

This is a black hole puzzle, so I can warad two points - one for each of you.

I hope this is ok...

Please can I have the maker and the year. And, unusually, what country was it intended for?

D-type · « **Reply #19 on:** February 01, 2025, 12:25:48 PM »

Not a flicker of interest from the Rookies - so it's up to the Experts.

D-type · « **Reply #20 on:** February 11, 2025, 06:47:56 PM »

The experts don't know either, so it's up to the pros.

1910 Jackson 3 wheeler, London.
50 intended for Costa Rica, but probably never made/delivered

grobmotorix · « **Reply #22 on:** February 12, 2025, 12:04:59 PM »

Yes - I have it as "Reynolds-Jackson".

Hiawatha · « **Reply #23 on:** February 12, 2025, 12:24:14 PM »

Robert Reynold Jackson was the full name of the owner of the company.

Wow! That didn't take long! You're spot on. The only thing to add was the idea that a three wheeler would perform better on rough roads as the central front, steering, wheel wouldn't get caught in the ruts.
