I like that sunvisor.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

citroën type A

That would have been too easy, wouldn't it? It is not a Citroen.

Everyone seems to be thinking French. I'm not so sure, but I'll go with the flow and try a:
Peugeot Type 177 from about 1925.

Wendax · « **Reply #10 on:** August 27, 2013, 03:12:27 AM »

French, but not a Peugeot

OK, I have a back-up. How about a: 1920 LaLicorne B7W4?

Wendax · « **Reply #12 on:** August 27, 2013, 03:56:04 AM »

Not a La Licorne

Tom_I · « **Reply #13 on:** August 27, 2013, 06:28:21 AM »

Is it a Le Zèbre?

Cognet de Seynes ?

1913 model, 1122cc 4-cyl sv engine. I can't find a model designation.

Wendax · « **Reply #16 on:** August 27, 2013, 08:01:36 AM »

Yes, it is a Cognet de Seynes. I think that is enough for the point. In fact it is a Type B, the 7th one built.

Has the puzzle picture been modified, and if so can you post the unmodified version?

Wendax · « **Reply #18 on:** August 27, 2013, 09:38:10 AM »

I think I just blackened the number plate, but nevertheless here is the original picture:

Coachwork by Briel from Lyon.

What year was this made? Nicanary said 1913 but it doesn't look that old.

Hiawatha · « **Reply #21 on:** August 31, 2013, 12:56:10 PM »

Probably a typing error, I believe the car was made in 1923.

Whoops ! I actually solved the puzzle by searching through Georgano for cars with a similar radiator shape to the Citroen Cloverleaf - it didn't take long (letter C) to find the Cognet de Seynes. I then went to Google Images and found numerous images of the actual puzzle car - obviously I must have mistyped the year of the car as it is clearly not a style from pre-WW1, or the date was incorrect on the image site. The problem is, all the images have now been taken off the Image site, so I can't resolve the matter ! Sorry.
