Hello, everyone. Otto "Solomon" Puzzles here...

neilshouse replied to this Rookie Puzzle from Ian Evan, in May of this year. Between answering the posed question "Know what it is", and Ian's response "...and the year?", neilshouse was promoted up from the Rookie ranks. Therefor, neilshouse cannot reply to the follow up question.

neilshouse has asked if he might be granted an opportunity to respond.

If the timing between the two events had been lesser - I'd say seven days or less - I'd be inclined to say no, right out. Also, if the original question had asked for the year of manufacturer, I'd also be inclined to say no.

However, since neilshouse answered the question originally posted, and a not-insubstantial amount of time had passed between his initial identification of the car, and Ian's follow-up question, I'm inclined to post neilshouse's answer to the follow up question which is:

Quote from: neilshouse, via email.

1913

If Ian agrees with your response, he may indicate so in this thread, and award you the point. Fair enough?

Ian has notified me that it's a 1915 Bedelia, but he's awarding you the point. Well done!

The exact one in this picture was actually, according to some website I found ages ago, the first motor vehicle in Rhodesia. There's your Trivia Fact Of The Day.
1974 Fiat X1/9 1500
2005 Alfa GT 1,9 JTD

I have to say that Southern Rhodesia had moved on a bit by the time I was there in the late 1940s, but alas owning such a vehicle would be the height of ones ambition in that poor country now.
