Is it a PV 650 then?

sichel · « **Reply #26 on:** December 02, 2021, 05:51:30 AM »

It is not a PV 650. Two more tries for you.

D-type · « **Reply #27 on:** December 02, 2021, 02:15:57 PM »

Please unlock. I can't identify it beyond the PV650-651-652 series. The PV653 etc had a sloping radiator.
Could it be the prototype PV650?

Why is everyone in this puzzle biting the wrong ideas? "It is not a PV 650". I unlock at the request of a single gentleman...

The later PV4 from 1928

You don't have to go back quite that far.

"D" has forged the blade. The taximeter suggests that this is the long-wheelbase version of the PV series. IF it has a glass partition it could be a TR673.

I seek not the honour of a point, but the autopuzzles holy grail.....a 'sichel-Bee'.

Hhmm, Hhmm

what do i do now? 'FrontMan', your tip for 'D-type' is spot on, but it is not a TR673. I'm going to try an unorthodox experiment: Locked for "D-type' and 'FrontMan'. Whoever solves the puzzle gets the point, the other gets the 'fairness sichel-bee'.

Well, the taxi was in two versions, the TR S (Stad = town) and TR L (Landsort = country) which became the TR671 and ~~TR672~~ respectively. So my next guess is the TR S.

sichel · « **Reply #35 on:** December 04, 2021, 02:47:24 PM »

Sorry "D", neither TR S nor TR671.

FrontMan · « **Reply #36 on:** December 04, 2021, 04:49:59 PM »

TR674 ?

sichel · « **Reply #37 on:** December 04, 2021, 04:53:53 PM »

Less would be more.

FrontMan · « **Reply #38 on:** December 04, 2021, 05:26:05 PM »

....as in TR672 ?

sichel · « **Reply #39 on:** December 04, 2021, 05:35:27 PM »

No, there's not much left now...

D-type · « **Reply #40 on:** December 05, 2021, 09:13:24 AM »

All I can think of is 'TR L' as all the others appear to have been guessed.

sichel · « **Reply #41 on:** December 05, 2021, 09:16:54 AM »

Sorry, but it is neither a "S" nor a "L".

FrontMan · « **Reply #42 on:** December 05, 2021, 02:24:17 PM »

....TR670 ?

sichel · « **Reply #43 on:** December 05, 2021, 03:43:17 PM »

Yes, it is a TR 670. Now all that is missing is the coachbuilder and the production period.

FrontMan · « **Reply #44 on:** December 06, 2021, 05:04:21 AM »

1930 to 1934, some say only 88 examples were produced. So far, I can't find the coachbuilder, but here's a wild guess;.....Gustaf Nordberg of Stockholm

D-type · « **Reply #45 on:** December 06, 2021, 09:38:15 AM »

I'll guess at Gripkarosser

sichel · « **Reply #46 on:** December 06, 2021, 01:46:56 PM »

Neither Nordberg nor Grip. Search on...

FrontMan · « **Reply #47 on:** December 06, 2021, 01:57:58 PM »

...are we to continue looking for a Swedish coachbuilder?

sichel · « **Reply #48 on:** December 06, 2021, 02:03:02 PM »

FrontMan · « **Reply #49 on:** December 06, 2021, 02:40:54 PM »

How about Norway?

.....Schroder of Trondheim. Perhaps the fellow behind the wheel is Karl Aspo, for whom it was built?
