French electric conversion by Sovel?

grobmotorix · April 22, 2015, 06:12:23 PM

French / Sovel - no

Electric conversion - yes

I think I know what french make you meant.
There was another car from another European country with a striking hood resemblance...

This might help!

ropat53 · April 22, 2015, 08:47:09 PM

Judging by the wheels, how about Fiat or maybe Polski-Fiat based?

grobmotorix · April 23, 2015, 01:31:06 AM

Let´s start like this:

which big French make comes to all your minds when I ask for significant 1910´s-1920´s engine hoods?

Now, which other European make had similar engine hoods at that time?

Tatra?

grobmotorix · April 23, 2015, 01:03:54 PM

YES!

This is a Tatra, converted to electric drivetrain.

LOCKED for you to find more details.

I would say that the base is a Tatra 12 from 1926 or about that year, and I guess the conversion may have been operated by Tesla...but I haven't found news about this car.

grobmotorix · April 23, 2015, 02:33:24 PM

There are some modern photos of a blue scale model of the puzzle car available in the internet...

You´re on the right track.

Three more tries for you.

targhediferro · April 24, 2015, 10:03:53 AM

Please unlock, I haven't been able to find nothing about an electric conversion of a Tatra.

O.K. $:-\$

Open for all again.

Was it modified by a Czech guy ?

grobmotorix · May 04, 2015, 11:53:55 AM

Yes, it was a certain Mr. S... from Prague

oko94 · May 04, 2015, 12:20:03 PM

Can you confirm that it's based on a Tatra 12 as targhediferro suggested ?

grobmotorix · May 04, 2015, 02:11:38 PM

The person´s name I am looking for, is strongly connected to Tatra.

I can confirm that it was based upon one of those Tatras, maybe a Type 12 maybe a different type number:

targhediferro · May 04, 2015, 03:20:00 PM

Sustala? The son of the founder?

grobmotorix · May 04, 2015, 03:42:19 PM

Not him.

oko94 · May 04, 2015, 06:41:55 PM

Leopold Svitak ?

grobmotorix · May 05, 2015, 01:23:42 PM

Not him.

Is this scale model displayed in a museum ?

grobmotorix · November 13, 2015, 08:44:41 AM

Possibly, but I am not sure - my Czech is not the best ...
