French electric conversion by Sovel?
Title: Re: grob 2015.03.20 (02)
Post by: grobmotorix on April 22, 2015, 06:12:23 PM
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?
Title: Re: grob 2015.03.20 (02)
Post by: grobmotorix on April 23, 2015, 01:03:54 PM
YES!

This is a Tatra, converted to electric drivetrain.

LOCKED for you to find more details.

Post by: targhediferro on April 23, 2015, 01:55:55 PM
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.

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:

According to Wikipedia Karl (Freiherr von) Škoda invented motor batteries, so perhaps he converted a Tatra to electric drive?
