Dunamis by Van den Plas?

Van den Plas is correct
LOCKED for you for three attempts to find make, type and year

gte4289 · « **Reply #9 on:** January 24, 2025, 03:10:23 AM »

I'll be surprised if the year isn't 1926 or very close to it.

As for the make and type... Fiat 519?

fromwien · « **Reply #10 on:** January 25, 2025, 03:40:49 AM »

The year is 1925, but it's not a Fiat 519

If it were a Fiat of a different model (e.g., Fiat 510), I assume you would have acknowledged that 'Fiat' was the correct make. (?)

Just in case, let's identify the make first. Alfa Romeo?

Oh, sorry 'Fёdor', I did a horrible mistake. I read you answer and didn't reply.
YES, it is British

No
Sorry, 'gte4289', in conjunction with my mistake, I think, it will be fair enough to open the puzzle for all

30/90?

fromwien · « **Reply #20 on:** January 26, 2025, 05:24:41 PM »

Less than 30/less than 90

gte4289 · « **Reply #21 on:** January 26, 2025, 05:36:34 PM »

I believe the only other option for 1925 was 24/80.

fromwien · « **Reply #22 on:** January 26, 2025, 05:59:23 PM »

And that's the right decision!

Thanks!

Some backstory and additional examples from another website

Quote

Here are two Beverley-Barnes cars with coachwork by Van den Plas Belgium. The founders of the carmaker were Belgians (Lenaerts & Dolphens) who settled in London and founded the Beverley Works in the suburb of Barnes. 13 Beverley Barnes cars were built between 1923 and 1929 to showcase the company's machining and engineering capabilities. All had straight 8 engines built from scratch by the company.
