It looks like the Adler Standard 8 designed by Gropius, but I'm answering from the smart phone and I can't check my idea.

Not Adler by Gropius, not German.

It's patently * built on the Weymann principle. Is it by d'Ieteren, maybe a Minerva ?

(* my little joke of the day for Englishmen. A "play on words")

Yes Weymann type body, but not Minerva, not d'Ieteren and not Belgian.

Isotta Fraschini?

Yes Isotta Fraschini with body by?
Locked for you

In these last days I obteined several locks, but every time I can't help to find myself stuck in gear!
I understand that Touring began its career with a Weymann license, and it's sure that Touring dressed some Isottas...so my guess is Touring, 1928 Isotta Fraschini 8A.

ropat53 · « **Reply #9 on:** May 10, 2013, 05:43:07 PM »

This is not the work of Touring and the car is a little older.
I'll keep it locked for you for one more try.

targhediferro · « **Reply #10 on:** May 12, 2013, 01:40:52 PM »

I have found no other Weymann-Isotta, so please unlock.
Is it from an Italian coachbuilder? If yes, Garavini?

ropat53 · « **Reply #11 on:** May 12, 2013, 02:04:35 PM »

Not Garavini, not Italian coach builder
Unlocked

I'm not sure if he ever used soft body construction, but he was a non-Italian coachbuilder that worked on Isotta-Fraschini, so I'll try: 1926 Isotta Fraschini 8A by Gangloff?

ropat53 · « **Reply #13 on:** May 12, 2013, 04:00:01 PM »

Yes it is a 1926 Isotta Fraschini 8A, but not by Gangloff and not Swiss.

4popoid · « **Reply #14 on:** May 12, 2013, 07:30:44 PM »

Is the coachbuilder French? If so: 1926 Isotta Fraschini 8A by Ottin of Lyon?

ropat53 · « **Reply #15 on:** May 12, 2013, 07:50:47 PM »

Not Ottin not French.

4popoid · « **Reply #16 on:** May 12, 2013, 09:01:46 PM »

Perhaps Dutch: 1926 Isotta Fraschini 8A by Van Rijswijk?

ropat53 · « **Reply #17 on:** May 12, 2013, 09:47:03 PM »

Not Van Rijswijk, not Dutch.

4popoid · « **Reply #18 on:** May 12, 2013, 10:27:38 PM »

Perhaps British: 1926 Isotta Fraschini 8A by Corsica?

ropat53 · « **Reply #19 on:** May 12, 2013, 11:07:20 PM »

Yes British but not Corsica
