Is it a Polymobil P10 16/20PS, built ca. 1906-1908?

[pnegyesi]

I let grob have another go at it. It is not a Polymobil... (locked for grob)

[grobmotorix]

Is it the rebadged Polymobil, later promoted as the Dux E12?

[pnegyesi]

almost. It is a Dux but younger and bigger than an E12. still locked

[grobmotorix]

O.K., thank you.

I think it must be a DUX K24 from around 1910 then...

[pnegyesi]

quite so, a surviving car from Estonia

[grobmotorix]

I am quite sure the photos show the identical car.

Look at those motocross motorbike tires...

Back in the day in Hungary (early 1970s) a few young, but fairly enthusiastic old car fans got hold of a Fiat Balilla. And they "restored" it - Csepel truck headlights, engine parts from another cars etc. But they were proud

Oh, and the best story. The Hungarian Museum of Transport has a 1928 Magosix. It was sort of restored in 1971 by students at a transportation technology college. They found an old, absolutely not matching wheel somewhere, painted it and attached it to the side of the car - and even today that is the spare wheel on the exhibited car

Don´t get me wrong.

I admire any person who faces the adventure of a car restauration.

And some decades ago only very few did that - so there was almost no support of the car makers.
And there were no professional dealers where you were able to buy most parts.

Thank you for the story.

That topic of weird parts from old restaurations would definitly be an interesting photo thread...
