Topic: Solved TGF-306: Fiat 2F by Tarchini & Briata, 1915

[targhediferro]

Can you identify this vehicle...make, model and coachbuilder requested.

[targhediferro]

No interest among Experts.

Is it a FIAT 15 TER?

[targhediferro]

It's a Fiat, but not a 15 ter.

Is is a cca 1910/11 Tippo 2.    Vintman

[targhediferro]

Yes, it's a Tipo 2 _;  Locked for you for two guesses to add the missing letter and the coachbuilder.

[vintman]

Has curved mudguards so could be a 2B charabanc or an earlier car updated. Body looks a bit amateur so will have to pass on that. Vintman

[targhediferro]

Not a 2B;  anyway it is not a homemade, even if the coachbuilder (as everyone in that period) haven't a big factory.  Another guess, than I will unlock it.

[vintman]

As far as I understand it the Tipo 2 came as a 2 or a 2B. So if not a 2B it must be a 2. Please unlock it as I will not get the coachbuilder.   Vintman

[targhediferro]

Perhaps you are right about the model, the letter that my source refers may be wrong. As you want I unlock.

I think it is the commercial version of the Tipo 2 which was called the 2F (for Furgone).

I think it is the commercial version of the Tipo 2 which was called the 2F (for Furgone).

That's exactly what I have, but I hadn't found a confirm that 2F was an official model name. So, just the coachbuilder name is missing.

[Tom_I]

I have found a picture which gives the coachbuilder as Carrozzeria Tarchini e Briata, and the date as 1925.

The date seems too late to me, as the 2F was not produced after 1921, from the limited information I could find. I also couldn't find anything else about the coachbuilder.

[Hiawatha]

I agree with Tom, I found the same picture but dated 1915, which seems more correct.
Tarchini e  Briata were based in Brescia and were also agent for O.M.

Absolutely correct; I was conscious that 1925 was probably wrong, so I didn't ask for the year, that could be 1915 as Hiawatha says. So, I think Tom_I got the first 2014 point!
