Solved - MJW #1063 - Hispano-Suiza H6C by James Young, Melbourne 1924
« on: December 27, 2012, 02:54:32 AM »
First of quite a few from me - have to keep the Rookies section topped up!

Identify this saloon by naming the marque (easy), model, year and coachbuilder (not quite so easy) for one point

I think targhediferro is correct that this is a Hispano-Suiza H6b.  I will flesh that out a bit more by saying that I think it is an earlier model, say 1922, and I will take something of a contrarian position (only because I don't think that they did that many Hispanos), and say that I think that the body looks like the work of Van den Plas.

It is a Hispano-Suiza H6B but it is a little newer than 1922.....
Bodywork is not by Van den Plas.

Yes, I thought Van den Plas was a reach, but I thought I saw some hints.  Let's try the obvious (even though it probably isn't, since you said the coach builder would be a little harder): 1924 Hispano Suiza H6b by Kellner.

1924 is correct and I was wrong regarding the model - it's apparently an H6C
It's not by Kellner though and I think the key now will be to find out in which country the bodywork was built.

Yes, I think that it would be good to rule out the obvious.  So, do I assume correctly that the coachbuilder is not French?

The coachbuilder is not French and that rules out Nieuport also (that's an entirely different car - sports model with a body of tulip wood)

I think that I shall return to my original line of thought, and see if the coachbuilder is Belgian.  If so, I'll call the puzzle car a: 1924 Hispano Suiza H6C by D'Ieteren.

How about Dutch?  If so, I'll call the puzzle car a: 1924 Hispano Suiza H6C by Van Rijswijk.
