Title: Re: GG-154
Post by: guido66 on June 12, 2010, 11:33:22 AM
Not from the twenties..
Title: Re: GG-154
Post by: Arunas on June 12, 2010, 11:36:53 AM

Title: Re: GG-154

Yes, indeed

I can't recall it from the book by Lammerse, which I have seen a zillion times, so I assume it's not in there. However, might it be a Simplex?
Title: Re: GG-154
Post by: guido66 on June 14, 2010, 12:40:36 PM
No, not a Simplex
Title: Re: GG-154
Post by: DeAutogids.nl on June 14, 2010, 03:15:05 PM
Entrop maybe? He was known for 3 wheelers.
Title: Re: GG-154
Post by: Arunas on June 14, 2010, 03:30:14 PM
I'll guess Metz.

I have no name for the car, just the name of the builder, with time and place.

Title: Re: GG-154
Post by: woodinsight on August 29, 2010, 06:38:29 AM
Oh - I didn't see that.
Could the name of the builder be Fa. S. Bingham & Co. of Rotterdam?
Title: Re: GG-154
Post by: guido66 on August 29, 2010, 07:49:12 AM
No Bingham and not from Rotterdam

A long shot but is it a 'one-off' built by Albert Mulder?
Title: Re: GG-154
Post by: guido66 on May 08, 2011, 12:52:09 PM
It's an one off, but not by him.
Title: Re: GG-154
Post by: DeAutogids on May 09, 2011, 08:15:45 AM
Noord-Holland build?
Title: Re: GG-154
Post by: guido66 on May 09, 2011, 12:05:51 PM
Trying the Dutch provinces one by one?  ;)

You're in luck. North Holland it is.  :D
Title: Re: GG-154
Post by: DeAutogids on May 09, 2011, 02:31:19 PM
Indeed, that seemed the easier way. Guessing names from the Lammerse-written book I guess might not get me to the answer.

Amsterdam?
Title: Re: GG-154
Post by: guido66 on May 09, 2011, 03:02:25 PM
From a much smaller place...
Title: Re: GG-154
Post by: DeAutogids on May 09, 2011, 03:24:17 PM
There a quite a lot still, but let's go with Haarlem.
Title: Re: GG-154
Post by: guido66 on May 09, 2011, 03:37:24 PM
Not from a town, but from a village
Title: Re: GG-154
Post by: Allemano on May 09, 2011, 03:45:22 PM
Between Den Helder and Alkmaar?
Title: Re: GG-154
Post by: guido66 on May 09, 2011, 04:20:43 PM
No, south of Alkmaar
Title: Re: GG-154
Post by: DeAutogids on May 09, 2011, 04:28:27 PM
Enkhuizen?
Title: Re: GG-154
Post by: guido66 on May 09, 2011, 04:31:15 PM
No, to the south of Alkmaar  ;)
Title: Re: GG-154
Post by: DeAutogids on May 09, 2011, 04:33:26 PM
Ah, I had to look it up, but indeed.

Purmerend?
Title: Re: GG-154
Post by: guido66 on May 10, 2011, 12:26:36 PM
Very close now..
Title: Re: GG-154

Wormer?
Title: Re: GG-154
Post by: guido66 on May 11, 2011, 01:07:37 PM
  :thumbsup: Wormer it is! Locked for you to come up with the builder's name.  ;)
Title: Re: GG-154
Post by: DeAutogids on May 11, 2011, 01:45:39 PM
Metz maybe?
Title: Re: GG-154
Post by: guido66 on May 11, 2011, 02:19:50 PM
Not Metz.
Title: Re: GG-154
Post by: DeAutogids on May 11, 2011, 03:02:30 PM
I am a bit baffled. Not because of Metz, but I cannot seem to find any reference to such a car. In the Netherlands.
Title: Re: GG-154
Post by: guido66 on May 11, 2011, 03:19:34 PM
The photo can be found online.  ;)

Shortly after building this car, the builder emigrated to the USA
Title: Re: GG-154
Post by: DeAutogids on May 11, 2011, 03:33:26 PM
In the list of cars registrated in Holland around the turn of the century I do not find Wormer, only Wormerveer. The same name pops up there constantly.
Title: Re: GG-154
Post by: DeAutogids on May 11, 2011, 03:35:59 PM
I think I found it.
Good find!


"Cees Waal met vrouw in zelfgemaakte auto voordat
hij onverwachts vertrok naar Amerika. Rechts nog de
gashouder." so the builder is Cees Waal. Picture was supposedly taken around 1915.

Waal had a bicycle repairshop (left)
