Well, I can try to narrow it down gradually... sometimes that works for me.

So... 1910s?

a tiny bit later than 1910s

I assume that would be early 1920s, then.

Is the first letter of the make in the range A to L?

Another hint: look for the T-Z range and the year borders on the 1910s/1920s. Short living brand.

Well, for latecomers: German, late 1910s, early 1920, name starts with either T, U, V,W,X,Y,Z

I'm an idiot: quoting it's German and giving a French/British brand..  :bag:

Zetgelette?

Zetgelette was a bit later...

I can imagine your next name...

Post by: pnegyesi on February 23, 2010, 09:23:07 AM
Not a Zetgelette

Arunas had guessed Walmobil earlier (before PJ did) but you didn't respond...

Thank you!
Walmobil (1920)

This was a single seater 3-wheeled cyclecar powered by a 3.7PS 2-cylinder engine mounted over, and driving, the single front wheel.

I am so sorry, somehow I missed it! Arunas, the point is yours! PJ I deducted a point from you.

And apologies to everyone, I don't know how I missed it

Post by: Arunas on February 23, 2010, 04:07:17 PM
What a lucky guess, and thanks for the point! I guessed something starting with "E", but as soon as I noticed a hint about T-Z I deleted my reply and guesses this name - almost at the same time as pnegyesi responded... sorry for any confusions...
