Guest RWitz Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Mick from your pictures I think you have a 1920 Maxwell. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest broyty Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 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 1922Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icerolyuk Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hddennis Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Peter, after reading this I wonder what your dash panel looks like. Do these pictures look like yours? Howard Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icerolyuk Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Howard Mine has the '20s layout of four seperate pull switches - I think your pic is from the earlier dash layout PeterEtsey Dash 2.jpg Etsey Dash 2A.jpgPeter, after reading this I wonder what your dash panel looks like.

hddennis Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 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 Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
