  1. I reckon this is a toolkit for a Packard, with the tool on the far right with the hex being the hubcap wrench. I've found these photos of a 1911 Model 30 that looks similar. I've found that the 1911's used an Eisemann magneto and had Hartford shock absorbers. I'm not sure what other years used an Eisemann, but the Hartford's were used on other year Packards in this period.
  2. Eisemann magnetos weren't used on that many vehicles in the US. A few that were are Biddle, Crane-Simplex, Holmes, Mercer..
  3. I'd say this is a 510 FIAT; a side valve 6 cylinder. The 501 was a side valve 4 cylinder. The 510 was a larger and more expensive vehicle.
  4. A bit more info; it is for a twin cylinder engine, but an M2 is for a 180° firing twin, either a parallel twin or a flat twin. That magneto coupling looks more stationary engine to me.
  5. They're called a Brammer belt.
  6. It's a magneto cap, but for a 2-spark magneto, not a dual. It's used to fire two simultaneous at the same time; as used on T-head engines, two plug per cylinder engines, etc.
  7. Yes, it is looking very, very ugly for those in Northern NSW Southern QLD
  8. This is good as it confirms what I thought it was; I didn't know about the different models and how many they made in that period.
  9. I think this maybe a Gladiator. They didn't make a 'standard' model, more of a variation of models.
  10. This is very cool; G'Ablett, Ling, Brownless, etc.
  11. I can also confirm that registration SA 8112 was registered to a William Hall, Watson Park, Milang, with a 19.6 Detroiter. This isn't a make of vehicle I have come across in Australia before, so to me this is very interesting.
  12. This This is a very good offer; I would very much like an original Lorraine-Dietrich and an early pre-wreath Alfa badge for my collection.
  13. Yes, I agree, it's the Complete Automobilist logo. https://www.completeautomobilist.com/
  14. Yes, but there is a roller-timer and a two halves of a leaf spring shackle. The items don't work with each other.
  15. When I first saw the motorcycle carburettor, it reminded me of something similar to an early Wagner single. I've been looking for photos of one, but I can't find a clear picture of a motorcycle fitted with this type of carburettor. I've found this photo of a 1909 Wagner, but it isn't very clear. Just about all the Wagners online seem to be fitted with the more common Schebler Model H carburettor, possibly because they are easier to find than an original Wagner caburettor. Looking at the photo of the subject carburettor, assuming it sat behind the cylinder and that the carburettor mounted vertically, then the cylinder on the motorcycle would have slanted forward. Also it would have been an inlet-over-exhaust with an atmospheric inlet, as you can see where the valve stem guide mount fits on the inlet manifold. The other thing is, the carburettor on the Wagner looks like it has an adjustment lever out the top. Does this carburettor also have a provision for an adjustment in the same location? I have a couple of other resources I can check out, and I'll continue searching. It may not be from a Wagner, and it maybe something totally different.
  16. I think it's supposed to be a White engine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiCbLwmxf68
  17. I can't tell you what it's modeled off, but I can tell you it's made by Carette.
  18. I'm sure the VCCGB do this already, and I think they would be the foremost authority on this. Because of the big difference in value of a Brighton-era car --pre 1904-- and a post 1905 car, the VCCGB go to great lengths before they certify whether a vehicle is Brighton eligible (pre 1904 or post 1905). They go as far as using various metallurgy techniques to verify the authenticity of a chassis. In the past, some people have tried to pass off/disguise a post 1905 vehicle as being earlier, just to sell it for a higher value.
  19. A German car called the Schlorwagen, made prewar for use on the Autobahns. https://revivaler.com/schlorwagen-autobahn-cruiser-wasnt/
  20. I don't think you could go past the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain. They hold the London to Brighton rally, and I know there have been L-B like yours in that, and I wouldn't be surprised if they belong to VCCGB members. https://www.vccofgb.co.uk/
  21. I have one the same as this; it's aftermarket and Safe-T-Stat made them for other cars as well as I've seen one for a Packard.
  22. I see now, looking up Google images, the Isuzu P'up was sold in Australia as the Holden Rodeo. There used to be LOTS of them around once, but I haven't seen one of those on the road for years.
