CG #88 - 1905 Renault 14 hp with Joseph Cockshoot coach work

[Craig Gillingham]

Not as easy as it looks. For a point, what's the year, make, hp and the coach builder of this car?

[Craig Gillingham]

Up a level.

De Dion Bouton 1903?

[Craig Gillingham]

De Dion Bouton 1903?

Not a De Dion, and a fraction newer.

[Wendax]

Charron?

[Craig Gillingham]

Charron?

Not a Charron. You have to think a bit more obvious for the car make. The hp and coach builder will be a bit harder to find.

[Wendax]

The most obvious would be a Renault.

[Craig Gillingham]

It's a Renault.

[Allan L]

It looks about the right size and build to be a 1909 50 h.p. BH.
The only one I can remember seeing has a body built in relatively recent times so I can't offer a coachbuilder's name.

Older than 1909. The hp stated on the original photograph is a lot smaller than 50hp.

Type N ?

[Craig Gillingham]

I don't actually know what model it is. I'll have to find out, I only know the horsepower.

[Wendax]

 14 CV Type X-1 from 1907?

[Craig Gillingham]

14 CV Type X-1 from 1907?

Yes, it's a 14hp. It's a bit older, and I think it's a Type X.

LOCKED for you to find the coach builder. I'll give you a couple of attempts, as I can't find a photo of this particular car on the internet.

[Wendax]

Was the coachbuilder located in or near Paris?

[Craig Gillingham]

Not French coachwork.

[Wendax]

European coachwork?

[Craig Gillingham]

European coachwork?

Yes. I've since found a Renault with very similar coachwork, on the internet.

[Wendax]

British coachwork?

[Craig Gillingham]

Yes.

[Wendax]

Vincent of Reading?

[Craig Gillingham]

Vincent of Reading?

No, sorry.

[Wendax]

Joseph Cockshoot & Co?

[Craig Gillingham]

Joseph Cockshoot & Co?

Yes, that what I was after. Another point for you.
