Great! Next number : 777

ARDEN (3)

[Wendax]

GENEVA (4)

I'll try asking for a clue then. Please tell me the time range.

1920-1921 

I thought so. Then it is the Geneva Wagon Company from Geneva, NY, which built an assembled automobile with a six-cylinder Herschell-Spillman engine in that time range.

ANDREOLI

Do you mean the coachbuilder?

I can't give clues unless you ask for them...but they are 4 and in a precise order (when available...)

There was an Andreoli, who was a racing driver for Isotta-Fraschini in 1922. I think you meant him

I saw that your previous one was a guess and not a request for a clue (I did not see the picture!).
Intereting, I have not that Coachbuilder in my archive, so it's wrong. Unfortunately I don't know if the Isotta-Fraschini pilot is the same that I have...it is a pilot and the only info I have is a small caption in a book!
-3 for the guess, but I gave you a clue if you want to proceed.

I don't know his first name, but he raced with Bianchi and Felice at the 1922 Coppa del Lazio. Is it him?

Correct! They built a gasoline wagon around 1899 too, but in this case I filed it as the 4th Geneva.
As you can see my database is just an index of what's in my books and there can be differences between my personal way to file things and others. I hope you enjoy the game!
20 +2!

[Joćo]

Arden manufactured from 1912 to 1916 in Balsall Heath, Coventry?

[Wendax]

I don't know...as I wrote before some names are pretty known and well documented...others names are very, very obscure. In this case you pick a car probably built by the pilot who is running it in a competition that is not 1922 or near...I just have a caption in a picture...you can decide to keep searching for it asking for clues or leave it and pick a new number. I'll reveal what I have once a name is unsolved.
It's a game of knowledge but also of luck...

TAYLOR (7)

[targhediferro]

I think I can't find the correct answer to n. 2017 "Blakeslee-Britten", as I found only something about a Blakeslee-Williams from 1905. So I prefer to give no answer, to lose 10 credits quitting this number and trying with another one: may I have 3017 please?

I quote myself:
"It's a game of luck and knowldege"
..but if you have a huge amount of both it can be a piece of cake!

Correct of course, and I've listed 28 models!
+48!

[D-type]

948 please

ASTRESSE

The Astresse, powered by a licence-built Grivel engine, was manufactured in 1898 in Levallois-Perret.  It was probably the first car made in Levallois-Perret where the Citroen 2CV was later made for many years

[Arunas]

AUBURN (2)

My first guess is:

Auburn Automobile Co.;  Auburn, Indiana

Not that...

Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Co. from Oklahoma?

Blakeslee-Britten Company, Jersey City, New Jersey...incorporated in 1910...they probably never built a car!
Wise choice....here's 3017:
