Turcat-Méry

Yes, locked for you to name the car's HP rating.

I'd say one of the smaller models, so probably the 14hp.

Not a 14 HP, I have a nn/mm HP classification and one of the numbers is very close.

Officially the hp-ratings for Turcat-Méry were always in single numbers from 1908 onwards (before 1908 I have no data). From 1909 the standard hp-ratings were the 14hp and 18hp, a 25hp added from 1910 onwards. However I found that an Austrian coachbuilder with the name Wagen- Carrosserie- und Automobilfabrik AG in Vienna had delivered in 1910 a 15/20hp Turcat-Méry with sporting body to the engineer d'Ester junior. Could that have been this car? The hp-rating must have been a recalculated value for the Austrian tax law, I suppose (for the 18hp?).

That's an awful lot more than I know about this car. I just found this photo online with a hand-written caption 15/20 HP. A well earned point to you.

This article is from the Algemeine Automobil-Zeitung of May 29, 1910.

That could be the same car.
