French electric conversion by Sovel?
French / Sovel - no
Electric conversion - yes
I think I know what french make you meant.
There was another car from another European country with a striking hood resemblance... ;)
This might help!
Judging by the wheels, how about Fiat or maybe Polski-Fiat based?
Let´s start like this:
which big French make comes to all your minds when I ask for significant 1910´s-1920´s engine hoods?
Now, which other European make had similar engine hoods at that time?
Tatra?
YES!
This is a Tatra, converted to electric drivetrain.
LOCKED for you to find more details.
I would say that the base is a Tatra 12 from 1926 or about that year, and I guess the conversion may have been operated by Tesla...but I haven't found news about this car.
There are some modern photos of a blue scale model of the puzzle car available in the internet...
You´re on the right track.
Three more tries for you.
Please unlock, I haven't been able to find nothing about an electric conversion of a Tatra.
O.K. :-\
Open for all again.
Was it modified by a Czech guy ?
Yes, it was a certain Mr. S... from Prague ;)
Can you confirm that it's based on a Tatra 12 as targhediferro suggested ?
The person´s name I am looking for, is strongly connected to Tatra.
I can confirm that it was based upon one of those Tatras, maybe a Type 12 maybe a different type number:
Sustala? The son of the founder?
Not him.
Leopold Svitak ?
Not him.

Is this scale model displayed in a museum ?
Possibly, but I am not sure - my Czech is not the best ... ;D

Was this person working at Tatra ?
No.
Was he working for Tatra ?
Maybe - but I do not know about such a connection.
He has worked for another big Czech company.
Did he work for Laurin & Klement / Skoda ?
He was not a car guy - but which other transportation system needs electricity? ;)
According to Wikipedia Karl (Freiherr von) Škoda invented motor batteries, so perhaps he converted a Tatra to electric drive?
QuoteHe was not a car guy - but which other transportation system needs electricity?
Not Skoda... ;)
Was this person associated with ČKD?
I don´t know, sorry.
Jaroslav Šibrava?
