For a point, what is the make, model and who is the coach builder of this car?

exekiel · « **Reply #1 on:** December 05, 2013, 12:48:21 PM »

Spanish?

Craig Gillingham · « **Reply #2 on:** December 05, 2013, 01:05:43 PM »

No, sorry, not Spanish.

Mercedes Skiff by Labourdette

Craig Gillingham · « **Reply #4 on:** December 05, 2013, 04:27:49 PM »

It's a Labourdette body, but not a Mercedes. LOCKED for Jean-Marie H for 2 attempts to find the make and model.

Panhard Levassor

No, sorry.

Craig Gillingham · « **Reply #7 on:** December 09, 2013, 03:56:58 PM »

Unlocked.

Craig Gillingham · « **Reply #8 on:** December 10, 2013, 03:07:37 PM »

Up a level.

It appears to be LHD - is it German?

Craig Gillingham · « **Reply #10 on:** December 10, 2013, 04:12:41 PM »

Not German.

Sorry, not a Rochet.

Hispano Suiza?

Craig Gillingham · « **Reply #14 on:** December 10, 2013, 05:16:16 PM »

Not a Hispano.

The "French" clue helped - I was baffled by the artillery wheels. It's a Voisin C1, bodied of course by Labourdette.

(Blimey, that was a bit of luck. The "French" clue I referred to actually related to a different one of your puzzles. I got lucky, but the car is pictured on a certain site which concerns itself with Voisin cars.)

I hate to say this, but it isn't a Voisin. I'll have to have a look at this car on "that site".

If Nicanary wouldn't be right, this could be a Renault double Decker Skiff Torpedo by Labourdette, 1924

Craig Gillingham · « **Reply #18 on:** December 10, 2013, 05:43:56 PM »

Nope, not a Renault.

I've just double -checked, and I'm very embarassed. Of course it's not a Voisin, because the one I found had wire wheels. Doh!

Seen one Labourdette skiff, you've seen them all..............

Craig Gillingham · « **Reply #20 on:** December 10, 2013, 05:50:36 PM »

You had me worried there, I thought my source had identified the wrong make of car.

targhediferro · « **Reply #21 on:** December 10, 2013, 06:03:39 PM »

Perhaps the "French clue" is not correct....could it be a Fiat 519 torpedo skiff?
