Is that Eskil Roland Lindstrom's ERL from '48?
It's called 'Why Not' built by Börje Hallèn from Motala in 1948.

That's right, it is.
But I still need to know its engine for the point, along with the correct year (completion of build or first registration) which you haven't got quite right.
Locked for you to complete!

Thank you, I was going to complete it.
Power cames from a two cylinder Husqvarna engine with 13hp but the year should be correct.
I'll look for it ;).

The engines was from 1928.
Front end is, at least, inspired by a Ford from 1935.
He was not able to buy a car with his salary in 1948.
He was working on the car in 1949.
The car was declared good for the road in 1950.
I'll say 1950!

That's about the long and the short of it, yes!
The car was finally registered in 1950.
Well done!
