Clement Talbot Dropside Lorry
Another lovely photo submitted by Leif Holmberg (Sweden)
asking for ID. He is helping the Torsakers Photohistoric Society to
identify cars and motorcycles. Used in WW1 and had bullet holes. Became
brewery truck 1916. -- Lorry
was was probably built in England. Adolphe Clement originally made
various cars in France but sold a part of the company to a British
company Clement Talbot which became a big operation post 1906. Pre WW1
and seems a cca 1910 Clement Talbot Dropside Lorry.

IDENTIFICATION AND DATING:
Perhaps 1911 Aquila-Italiana Roadster
Number of interesting photos sent to us by
Andrew Kostin from Moscow (Russia) who is a collector of old photos and who has a website devoted to this
subject at http://antique-photos.com/en/. Can we identify this lovely photo?
-- Our experts
agree, probably Italian and not one of the well known names. Our Ariejan Boss
has an interesting theory that this is a cca
1911 Aquila-Italiana Roadster. Aquila were
based in Turin and the cars were designed by Giulio Cesare
Cappa; hence name 'CESAR'??

Photo found on the Brundall Archive website
(UK) while
trawling the internet on another subject. They were asking for
identification of the vehicle. -- Registration
is not visible so dating not possible. From
the Ffiske family albums, who lived in Brundall and were involved in the
development of the Boulton & Paul Aircraft company. Photo is tagged 'T
Doean' car, which could be a Historic phonetic mis-hearing corruption of
De Dion ! The car is a cca
1912 De Dion Bouton 8HP Open Carriage.

Rolls Royce Silver Ghost
Photo found on the Brundall Archive website
(UK) while
trawling the internet on another subject. They were asking for
identification of the vehicle. -- No
registration visible but identified by our Tom Clarke as a cca
1913 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost Muhlbacher Brougham,
car number 2658. Earlier photos indicate the car was then owned by J
Hurst and registered HO4111 (Southampton 1920?) but photographed in
London by photographer in Greek Street. Later used as Hire Car into the
1930s.

IDENTIFICATION AND DATING:1914
Sunbeam 12'16 Tourer
Recently seen on the Rootschat website
asking for identification. Discussion that it might be British, and a
Crossley. --
No, this is not a Crossley. This is indeed a British made car but with
many additions which were not factory standard, such as bodywork
windscreen and mudguards. Probably shipped out as a chassis and had a
local body put on along the factory pattern. It is cca
1914 Sunbeam 12'16 Tourer
which was a quality car in competition with Rolls
Royce. In 1914 £350.

IDENTIFICATION AND
DATING:
1915 Ford Model T Van
Photo found on the Brundall Archive website
(UK) while
trawling the internet on another subject. They were asking for
identification of the vehicle. -- From
the Philps/Cooper family albums, 'Stockings, Purveyors, St Stephens St,
Norwich'.
Purveyor is supplier of food, in this case Butchers. The
car is a very popular American origin vehicle. The bonnet is square so
pre 1916. Likely a cca 1915 Ford Model T
Van. Ford started
UK assembly
1911. The first British Model T van made in 1914.

Number of interesting photos sent to us by
Andrew Kostin from Moscow (Russia) saying
he is a collector of old photos and who has a website devoted to this
subject at http://antique-photos.com/en/. Can we identify this French photo?
-- This batch is
proving quite difficult and we do not have a positive identification. However,
I feel this is a much modified cca
1918 Ford Model T Special Tourer. No front
spring hanger visible, dished steering wheel, wheels, headlamps; many were
modified.

Photo found on the Brundall Archive website
(UK) while
trawling the internet on another subject. They were asking for
identification of the vehicle. -- A
tractor of American origin manufactured in Chicago. Unusual sloping
bonnet and radiator behind the engine identifies this as a cca 1920 International

went to Brundall Gardens. The
car is a very popular American origin vehicle. The bonnet is rounded so
post 1916, demountable rims, and long chassis. Likely a cca
1921 Ford Model TT Charabanc. LHD so probably
made in USA, introduced 1917. Coachbuilt.

Daimler TB 6-21 Two Seater
Another lovely photo submitted by Leif Holmberg (Sweden)
asking for ID. He had also posted this one on the AACA forum where he
was advised this is a 1923
Daimler TB 6-21 Two Seater, a well
known Swedish car with royal past, recently owned by artist Erik Rafael
Råberg. Part restored Shown in Automobile Museum in Koping and on show
in the Koping Auto Museum . -- A
check in my data came up with a very similar bodied car described as
a Daimler 20HP Two-seater, made 1921/1923.

Citroen B10 Saloon
Number of interesting photos sent to us by
Andrew Kostin from Moscow (Russia) saying
he is a collector of old photos and who has a website devoted to this

-- Lac Chambon is
in the centre of France so not surprising this is a French car built in centre
of Paris. This is a cca
1925 Citroen B10 Saloon, which was similar to
the B2 and was replaced by the B12. Was very fist range of European cars to be
mass produced.

Number of interesting photos sent to us by
Andrew Kostin from Moscow (Russia) who is a collector of old photos and who has a website devoted to this

-- The logo on the
badge located below top of the radiator is of a flying eagle. German for eagle
is Adler. Adler made cars and motorcycles 1900 to 1957. From the vertical
louvres and small circle wheelnuts this would seem to be a cca
1926 Adler 6'25 Limousine.

FIAT Charabanc
Number of interesting photos sent to us by
Andrew Kostin from Moscow (Russia) who is a collector of old photos and who has a website devoted to this
subject at http://antique-photos.com/en/. Can we identify this French photo?
-- Photo has
notation 'Le pont du Loup, 1929', close to Nice and Italian border. This
railway bridge used by Queen Victoria on holiday was blown up by the Germans in
1944. Difficult, but we think it is an
Italian rather magnificently outfitted
cca 1928 FIAT Charabanc.

IDENTIFICATION AND DATING:1929
Citroen AC4 Taxi
Cinema screen grab from a French film "Ils étaient neuf célibataires"
(Nine Batchelors) made in 1939 where the
cars are being investigated by IMCDB. Film is about an opportunist scheming
to make money after French gouvernment introduces law forbidding foreigners
living in France. --
The photo is very dark but we can just make out a taximeter and letters
..OE.. on the radiator and are relatively sure this is a French Citroen,
shortish bonnet, so likely to be a cca
1928'9 Citroen AC4 Taxi.

1932 Armstrong Siddeley Economy 12
Photo found on the Brundall Archive website
(UK) while
trawling the internet on another subject. They were asking for
identification of the vehicle. -- Registration
of car on right is NG which is Norfolk CC 1932. Advised by Simon Pearce
that Armstrong Siddeley introduced the flattish radiator grille which
replaced the rather flash vee-radiators on the cca
1932 Armstrong Siddeley Economy 12 Saloon which
was not in production for all that long. On the left is
a cca 1935 Morris 8 Saloon.

IDENTIFICATION AND DATING:1932
Citroen Charabanc
Number of interesting pictures sent to us
by Andrew Kostin from Moscow (Russia) saying
he is a collector of old photos.-- Gorgeous
photo showing 1933 Monte Carlo. Note the railway line where the FI
tunnel is now, no high rise blocks, no swimming pool, and no
Fontvieille offshore town. The Casino already has pride of place as
does Hotel de Paris, and Oceanographic Museum. Difficult angle to be
positive, but we think this is a
cca 1932 Citroen Charabanc, possibly
on a C4G Camionette chassis.

trawling the internet on another subject. They were asking for

the Brundall Gardens album, headed Redclyffe House 1935. Our Tony Oakes
advised 'the car is a Lanchester
10. A well made but very dull car made
after the take-over by Daimler. First marketed in 1932, and this
looks like an early one.' Shared the
chassis with the BSA 10.

-- The three
pointed star, introduced 1909 by Daimler's sons, which depicts domination over

Andrew Kostin from Moscow (Russia) saying
he is a collector of old photos and who has a website devoted to this

-- No positive
responses from any of our experts. This shape of bus front was very popular on
a number of European bus manufacturers in the 1933-1938
pre WW2 period but despite much
searching, we have found no match for radiator shape.
