Oh, I see. No, I don't have any clue, but the man reminds me to Ernest Hemmingway, but it's not sure...

That's a Troublemaker CAT.

Seriously, I can't see the point of having 2 people with the handlebars unless it's a training vehicle or a special vehicle for some sort of exercises.

EDIT: given the probable military nature of the vehicle, and the fact that the right 'driver' is actually a passenger, it can be a sort of quick vehicle to transport something that has to be used by 2 men...

Hi all,

Somebody can identify this car, please?

THX!

Sorry if I posted this q. in a wrong topic.

It's a lucky guess, but it's not a Rolls-Royce from 1925? OK, I know, the freont and the end are not the same, but the others...

This thing is/was sitting in Museo Panini right next to Maserati Chubasco.

Any ideas what is that? Clearly mock-up for another Maserati, but what is the story behind it? Another Chubasco proposal?

I thought about that, but it looks like a coupe... Or is it the nature of moulds?

I should know the car too, but it slips my mind for the moment.

However, did you note the man leaning on the car has a cigarette in his hand.

In today's anti-smoking environment that photo would never be published in a Public Relations piece.

Hi!   Please help! Thank you!

I don't  know what the history of this particular bike is, but I can tell it's based on a WLA Harley. That might narrow down your search a bit.

The license plate on the Harley is from Pirna, Saxony Germany if that is any help.
Perhaps a German member can find the person that J 440 is registered to and contact them.

Sorry, but there is no way for a normal citizen to find the owner of a license plate in Germany.

Probably better that way.  With all the NSA scandals over here, I wonder if we will start to shut down on the availability of personal information almost anyone can get on anyone here.

However, the bike is obviously restored and I would bet the owner belongs to one or more Harley Davidson Enthusiast clubs in Germany and that may be another avenue.  Copy the pic and send it to the website of the club asking for details on the bike.
Over time, I have solved a lot of mysteries this way dealing with English speaking clubs.
