For 1 point tell me the year, make and model of this car.

There are three parts to the answer.

Up to Expert level.

Is that one of the Stanley brothers in the front passenger seat?

I don't think so; the car isn't Stanley related.

It's a beautiful old picture. Is it in the U.S.?

Craig Gillingham · « **Reply #5 on:** October 14, 2012, 08:03:16 PM »

No, it's in Australia.

No, not a Mercedes, and not as old as 1904.

That's fine.

Manuel · « **Reply #12 on:** October 17, 2012, 03:38:24 PM »

Sorry Craig. I just don't have the time @ the moment. Takes me a while to go thru my books. They made a lot of different models before WW1 but the production numbers were very low.
Some models had huge engines in them.
I love the pic.

Napier 60hp, circa 1907?

Napier 60hp, circa 1907?

1907 is right (could also be 1906), but a bit smaller than 60hp. It also has a model name, 1 letter and 2 numbers. LOCKED for you until your next reply.

RayTheRat · « **Reply #16 on:** October 18, 2012, 04:57:13 PM »

Let's try this:

"The Model nomenclature that Napier's used originally prior to the 6 cylinder cars, was a letter followed sometimes by a number but from the 6 cylinder used type ( T ) numbers, not in chronological order to describe the different models."

So, using a bit of intuition and wild-assed guessing, I figger the T26 30hp would be a good candidate for that year range (1906-07).

Not quite, it's the next size up from 30hp, and not a T26 (doesn't start with a T). But it is a 6 cylinder. Still LOCKED for you for another attempt.

How about an L75, 40 hp?

That's close enough, It's a 40hp L76.
