Although there are rather a lot of unsolved puzzles, I have a few I shall add.
Here's one I saw a couple of weeks ago

Carnut's solved one of these: surely someone knows this one!

Over 90 viewings and no posts - must be time to move upwards!

No guesses at all?

Thankyou, but (perhaps unexpectedly) it is not British.

European though?

Allan L · « **Reply #7 on:** September 10, 2009, 09:16:17 AM »

Yes, European

guido66 · « **Reply #8 on:** September 10, 2009, 11:42:36 AM »

Swedish?

Allan L · « **Reply #9 on:** September 10, 2009, 12:26:32 PM »

Not Swedish

Yes!

(1) 1910s?

(2) A make that lasted a long time after this car was made, or not?

Allan L · « **Reply #15 on:** September 11, 2009, 09:05:39 AM »

To answer both at once, Georgano tells us that the make existed 1912-14 (i.e. the answers are (1) yes; (2) no)

ftg3plus4 · « **Reply #16 on:** September 11, 2009, 09:49:25 AM »

OK then! Now I wonder if I can track it down based on that before someone beats me to it!

Could this be a voiture from Terrot, the motorcycle manufacturer? I think this is a 2-seater Sport model from cca 1913

No.
However, almost everything I know about Terrot also applies to the firm that made this one.

ftg3plus4 · « **Reply #19 on:** September 11, 2009, 12:51:01 PM »

Throwing out these names because they seem to be associated with the relevant country & dates. Is it any of these?

Diederichs
La Roulette (edit - actually my copy of Georgano says this went from 1912 only to 1913).
Luxior

Could this ben an Ultima then?

Allan L · « **Reply #21 on:** September 11, 2009, 06:36:30 PM »

Sorry but none of the above.

ftg3plus4 · « **Reply #22 on:** September 11, 2009, 07:45:04 PM »

Boy, your criteria doesn't narrow things down as much as I expected.

Chambon?
C.I.D.?
Clem?
Cornilleau?

Violet-Bogey?
