OK, starting from the basics, is it British, circa 1912?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #2 on:** June 23, 2009, 08:12:49 AM »

Not British...

It seems to be 4WS. Is it 4WD also? And could it be Felix Coldwell's 1913 car from Australia? Although I'm not sure that could be a 4WS thing.

You have a very good eye!
It is indeed 4WS and 4WD but this one has nothing to do with Coldwell...

But does it have something to do with Australia?

Or is it an early prototype for Trophee Andros car?

Nothing to do with Australia.

Is it some DKW-based german miliary experimental car?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #12 on:** July 17, 2009, 06:15:05 PM »

Not DKW based nor German

I don't have a guess, but... I take it you didn't mean to leave that part about "scale model" in the introduction?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #14 on:** July 18, 2009, 03:45:48 AM »

Fixed..

Hi, it is the italian SABA Stelvio, an all-wheel-drive car built in Milan from 1927 to 1928. "Classic" Stelvio ( rear-wheel-drive ) was built from 1923 to 1928.

That's the car 4-cyl, 984cc 24hp 75km/h.
One point for you.
