I don't know much about this car, just the make of the chassis/engine and the man who was behind its creation. Give me that much and you'll get a point.... Perhaps another point if you can provide any more concrete information about it

Overdue for a move upwards

Hotchkiss long distance record breaker?

Not a Hotchkiss, although it is at least partly French

Hmmm, I wonder

Is the car in Australia?

barrett · « **Reply #5 on:** July 11, 2012, 06:15:33 AM »

Not Australian

One week on and no further to the truth.... I'm sure a Pro will have the answer

French engine on a British base?

barrett · « **Reply #11 on:** August 08, 2012, 02:33:55 PM »

The engine's not French, and there are no British bits as far as I know

Was the "man behind this creation" French?

Is it German?

Duesenberg?

motorcar1 · « **Reply #20 on:** August 11, 2012, 08:15:29 AM »

Do you know if it is from the early 1930's ?

Mormon Meteor?

barrett · « **Reply #22 on:** August 12, 2012, 05:51:37 PM »

It's not a Dusenberg, but that's not far off....

I'm not sure about the year but I assume it is from the 1930s

It's not the Mormon Meteor!
