1901 Progress 4.5HP Vis-a-Vis
Another photo received from Ken Brown,

photos from his collection. Looks forward to his items appearing on the
SVVS website. --
Looks based on De Dion Bouton engine from the starter handle hole in
the side but strange rear spring. Wise sages advise it is a cca
1901 Progress 4.5HP Vis-a-Vis made in

1904
Brushmobile 6HP Two Seater
Interesting photograph received from
Brenda Gilbert (UK)
showing her Great Uncle Vic Hutfield and his wife Lou in the cca
1904 Brushmobile 6HP Two Seater.
It is believed that Vic donated the car, amongst others, to the
National Motor Museum at Beaulieu. -- Vic
Hutfield was a pioneer in the fields of motorcars, motorcycles and
aeroplanes in Gosport, Hampshire. This car HP 25 is well known (see HP41
and HP96)
as a 'photographer's prop', so this could perhaps be a staged photo
too?

IDENTIFICATION AND DATING:1904
Darracq 24HP Surrey
While surfing the net on other matters I
came across this unidentified photo and saved it for future investigation. I have now lost the reference as
to where I saw it, so cannot acknowledge the origin or advise directly.
--
This puzzled me because of the segmented type of bonnet and of the cente
pin in the radiator. It all looked a bit home made with all those rivets.
Our experts were reluctant to pin it down but Rory Sinclair thinks
it is a modified cca
1904 Darracq, 4 cylinder 24hp.

photos from his collection. Looks forward to items appearing on the

Blurry photo but two of our experts agree
from the probable tower radiators, rear mudguard, badges etc,
that this is probably a cca

IDENTIFICATION AND DATING:
1907
Haynes Touring Car
Another photo sent to us by our regular contributor and expert Mark
Dawber (New Zealand). Brief
examination suggests maybe a Pope-Hartford. --
We had determined not any of the Popes but did not have an answer as to
what it actually was. Ariejan Boss contacted us subsequently and
advised that this is a Kokomo, Indiana built cca 1907 Haynes Touring
car, probably the larger 50 HP. Note characteristic crank
handle support. Not a feature of the photo/car I had
spotted!

1910 BSA 15'20 Open Drive Landaulette. Registration
likely Leeds.

Decapotable
Photo received from Paul Page (UK)
of his great grandfather whose job was
listed as a motor driver in 1915, based in the London area. Car mascot
is called a Bluebird but probably after-market. It would be fantastic
if we could recognise the car. --
Should have been easy but I needed
reminding of early French Delahaye radiators. This is a
cca 1910 Delahaye Torpedo Decapotable,
(Tourer) probably type 32. Body looks British and cars were imported to
UK by HM Hobson, and altered for UK.

Buick 67 Sedan
Another fascinating photograph from our
regular contributor Cicos Florin in Constanta by the Black Sea (Romania)

There are two cars on the photo and this item is dealing with the right
one. Our Mark Dawber advises an American cca
1933 Buick Sedan. Based on the space
between the rear of the front tyre and the front of the side mounted

67.

IDENTIFICATION AND DATING:
1934
Ford Model BB Pickup
Interesting photograph received from Russ
Mann (USA) asking
if we would be able to help identify the model/year of the car
pictured. His company is celebrating their centennial and he believes
this was one of the first company vehicles in Chicago in the 1930's or
40's. -- This
is a Detroit product from the new Ford Model B range made between 1932
and 1934, which followed the Model A range. This is a cca

Another interesting photo sent to us by
