What is this?
1 point for you.
This one should be not too hard, but I'm too lazy to look for it.
I have name and nationality, but can't be sure about.
Can you fill in the gaps?
Is this that 100 year-old Fiat S76 with a massive 28 litre 4-cylinder engine? That's 7 litres per cylinder!
I think it was known as "The Beast of Turin".

It certainly looks like a miniature version of it. The engine of the S76 would probably be as big as the puzzle car.
The radiator looks very similar - is this also a Fiat?

I don't think it's a Fiat.
After much digging, PJ, I think I am where you are. The car is apparently Russian, and associated with one M. Yegorov. Yegorov appears to have been the designer, and, perhaps, the builder, but here my trail ends. This information is from a very short teaser for a complete article contained in a past issue of the Russian "Historic Automobile Magazine", which is advertised for sale for approx. (price varies with several sites offering this issue) 500 rubles. Since I don't have 500 rubles to spend, perhaps some of our Russian AutoPuzzlers can access additional information regarding this vehicle.
Yes, that is all I know...and I'd like to know much.
This pic cames from the cover of that magazine and nowhere else, it seems.
Built by a certain M.M. Yegorov (Егоров) in St. Petersburg. His full name is not known. It was built in around 1913-1914. Powered by a Laurin&Klement engine, with a gearbox from a Berliet. Chassis and body were hand-made
Thank you, that was exactly what I was looking for...1 point for you each!
T hanks for the point PJ.
Very interesting information Pal. Did you get this further information from the article I mentioned, or did you find another source, and, if another source, is it somewhere on the internet?
I asked the editor of the magazine :)
