Not a Citroen.

Renault Primaquate?

Jagman · « **Reply #4 on:** September 17, 2006, 05:24:53 PM »

Renault makes sense, given the car lurking just over the shoulder of this one, but I've never heard of that model before.........

SeaLion · « **Reply #5 on:** September 17, 2006, 06:26:35 PM »

Panhard?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #6 on:** September 18, 2006, 02:49:27 AM »

It is neither a Renault nor a Panhard.

Well that's because I can't spell worth beans, I was drunk and I like to make stuff up.

Here's a Primaquatre, which the mystery car ain't.

A Lanchester?

No sir.

I am so weak at the pre-war cars, I'm not sure why I even try. I simply can't discern between a Jowett, DKW, Hansa, Praga, Hanomag, Wolesely, Gaz or any of the hundreds of other minor manufacturers of the era. They all look like the same damn car to me, with only minor detail changes.

Unless it stands out like a Rosengart Supertraction, I am lost.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #11 on:** September 19, 2006, 04:47:46 AM »

Nope, none of those...

Cool avatar, by the way. I notice it has no valves or spark - is it a two-stroke diesel?

It'a radial aircraft engine. Obviously some design details were left out in the interest of simplification. The original is hypnotic and, some might say, somewhat erotic.

Here's another shot of the same engine type.

And an actual engine

And none of this brings me any closer to what that car is. I feel like I'm trapped in the Monty Python Cheese Skit. Is it a Wensleydale?

Stephen M · « **Reply #15 on:** September 19, 2006, 10:23:04 AM »

I'm pretty sure I've seen that eight-section grill guard thingy before.

Like all my other vague recollections, though, it does me no good.

Umm... my bad. Wensleydale is a cheese favored by Wallace and Gromit. As far as I know, there is no such car. But as far as I know doesn't go very far at all, so there very well may have been Wensleydale automobiles. I am fairly certain there was no Danish bimbo or Dorset Bluveny.

Next time, I'll include the

While this brand has expired, it's hardly unique.

lynxd67 · « **Reply #23 on:** November 28, 2006, 04:27:42 PM »

Hmmm - the marque has expired? The grill looks remarkably like a Lancia, and they still make cars.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #24 on:** November 29, 2006, 02:17:20 AM »

Not a Lancia
