No, but the manufacturer's story is similar.

Yes! Closed for you, please indicate the engine power and year of manufacture.

According to reliable sources, the Krupkar company of Mr Morrison, a British car importer, exhibited a 6hp, 3-wheeler car at the 1904 Crystal Palace Show. The Krupkar name was also used to rebadge Cudells, Horches and Opels imported from Germany.

As the puzzle car isn't a 3-wheeler obviously, it has to be a Cudell, Horch or Opel built circa 1904. Engine power should range from 8hp to 30hp.

I've found this ad that pretty much confirms the aforementioned power range.

A year earlier. The advertisement is most likely an Opel-Darracq, but none of the power indicated on the advertisement matches.

Between 15 and 30 hp ?
