what year and model is it?

hi just found this forum and i hope that you can help me id this car

I cant find a chassis number on it, it has an engine number-260834

all i know is it is supposed to be 1917 vintage

it was a canadian army staff car left in europe after the war

there are more pictures in my gallery

Mick from your pictures I think you have a 1920 Maxwell. Randy

thanks Randy now I have done a bit more research I have come almost to the same opinion,

it came from a small collection in france, which is where the information i had came from.

I thought that it appeared to have parts from a range of years ie 1919 to 1922

Hey Mick and Harry

I now have this car and have checked against the engine numbers etc and it is either a late 1919 or early 1920.

Lots of work underway with the car - new half shafts and new wheel bearings, clutch rebuild, gearbox refurb,  radiator re-core, new fuel lines and pump (now positioned well away from the exhaust),  new exhaust, dynastart currently off as there was no charge from the gen side, complete re-wire with traditional wiring and new voltage regulator as the old one wasn't working and new fuse-box as when I bought the car there was no fuse box and most of the wiring was shot away, speedo cable was too short and is being lengthened by one foot. - She should be  as good as new shortly

Cheers

Peter, after reading this I wonder what your dash panel looks like. Do these pictures look like yours?

Mine has the '20s layout of four seperate pull switches - I think your pic is from the earlier dash layout

Just wishful thinking on my part, Peter. The one I pictured is for sale on the internet and I thought it might help you out.

Howard .. Thank you for posting this. My dash is all sorted now with new wiring and a good clean up and new switches - all working fine.

Best wishes

Peter

Bought this from Peter over a year ago - some "interesting" "remedial" work has been applied to the car and we are now fixing it!!!
