Who can identify this car?

The make and approximate year will earn you a point.

Serpollet?

Steam-engined at all?

Tom_I · « **Reply #5 on:** July 16, 2013, 04:35:56 AM »

It's not a Serpollet, but it is powered by steam.

White, c 1903?

Tom_I · « **Reply #11 on:** July 16, 2013, 06:45:56 AM »

It's not a White, and it's a bit later than that.

Wendax · « **Reply #12 on:** July 16, 2013, 06:50:06 AM »

British?

Tom_I · « **Reply #13 on:** July 16, 2013, 06:55:57 AM »

Yes, it's British.

No, and it's a bit later than that too.

1908 Morriss ?

Tom_I · « **Reply #17 on:** July 16, 2013, 07:46:49 AM »

Not a Morriss, but the date is about right.

Well Turner was making Miesse steamers at about that time, and a lot of it could be a Turner-Miesse but the condenser looks far too big for a T-M, which used very high pressure with consequent low water consumption.

Arden?

Tom_I · « **Reply #20 on:** July 16, 2013, 08:08:20 AM »

Not Turner-Miesse or Arden.

This company generally used flash boilers of their own design.

Wendax · « **Reply #21 on:** July 16, 2013, 08:21:52 AM »

Sheppee?

1909 Fawcett-Fowler ?

Tom_I · « **Reply #23 on:** July 16, 2013, 08:40:39 AM »

Not Fawcett-Fowler, but Sheppee is right!

The company's main products were steam powered trucks, but between about 1908 and 1911 they made three cars of which this is the earliest.

So one point to Wendax.

Georgano dates it as a one-off from 1912.
