Wow - what a monster!

A blind guess:

A WW1 Vickers armoured car (unclothed)

No, it´s not from the UK.

Latil ?

Not Latil, but also a product of la Grande Nation.

Wow, the design is obviously the same - maybe mine was the original and Pipe made a licence build?

I really wonder if I should give you an extra point for this monster...

What do the others think?

Mine is not a pipe anyway.

LOCKED for João!!

... but it has pipe hubcaps

Oh my...then my source seems to be wrong.
Autopuzzles.com is amazing me again!

Joao - the point is yours - Compound is the name of this specific Pipe model?

Then I´lll reveil what my source said:

Heilmann Train Avant, 1910.

But I´ve got to admit that you must be right, of course:

João · « **Reply #15 on:** December 12, 2011, 01:28:05 PM »

No problem.

It's from 1908,and it's electric and gas powered.All I know.

grobmotorix · « **Reply #16 on:** December 12, 2011, 01:30:11 PM »

Congratulations!

Very interesting, indeed!

I would love to get any more information about it...

Wendax · « **Reply #17 on:** December 12, 2011, 01:45:36 PM »

That's what I have as a Heilmann Avant-Train:

I know this 1898 vehicle quite good - I think I´ve placed it as a puzzle myself...
But I thought it could be possible that it would have developed into he current puzzle pic vehicle within 12 years...

grobmotorix · « **Reply #19 on:** June 03, 2014, 01:23:54 PM »

Now this is the solution why there were so many different names around:
