Is this a factory-made chassis waiting for its coachbuilder?

fromwien · « **Reply #5 on:** December 06, 2020, 09:47:21 AM »

I couldn't have found anything very specific... 4-cylinder inline (15-20 HP) of the beginning 20th century?

It is a chassis waiting to be bodied, but probably at the factory and not a coachbuilder.

The date is the early 20th century and the engine is rated 20hp.

Neither Austin nor Sheffield-Simplex.

Next possible marque, following the alphabet, would be Bell?

You would be right. It's the chassis of a 1906 Bell 20hp. I've got a picture somewhere of the car complete with body, and I'll post it sometime.

Big surprise! Thank you for the point!

With body.
