Chater Lea 1910?

Wendax · « **Reply #4 on:** September 25, 2014, 03:39:45 PM »

I found it as a Chater Lea from c1913.

Hmm you are both right with the make but not the year..... and according to the information I have there is a model name as well..

I have it as Chater Lea body by David Hembrow 1910

Hmm the tax sticker in the car quotes a date between the high and low replies on this thread.....

How about 1911 Chater Lea "Carette"?
The body was made in 1978 by basket maker G.H. Hembrow while living in New Zealand.

Puts one in mind of the Featherstone-Kite Openwork Basket Weave Mark Two Gentleman's Flying Machine by Rowland Emett - but it looked like this:

This is now very easy for someone, as the date still isn't correct....

Wendax · « **Reply #11 on:** September 26, 2014, 02:10:31 AM »

Okay, must be 1912

Here´s a 1912 photo:

Yes it is 1912, Sorry but have been very busy the last few days.
I have a photo from the identity plate on the cat which states it is a 1912 chater-lea duo

I will post it later when I am on the other machine

you also forgot the wicker wonder http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=27821.msg322465#msg322465
Although we seem to have lost the photograph of that one....

Here is the photo giving the cars identity - any idea as to which country issued the license?

Carnut · « **Reply #17 on:** October 02, 2014, 04:17:08 AM »

No, but it's in English but isn't American.
Perhaps it's the Antipodes (as we like to call Australia and New Zealand in this country!)?

I believe its registration plate is from NZ so maybe some is keen enough to ship it half way around the world!
