I've seen a recent photo of the OHV Austro-Daimler in Norway; he's basically got a roughly assembled car, but the only key component missing is the chassis.

That's a brilliant film! It's at the Rob Roy hill-climb, which isn't too far from me. There are a few cars there that I recognise that are still around today. That Stutz coupe was a well-known car here, I do know that at one stage it was owned by a traveling circus. If Ivan reads this, he could tell you a lot more about the car.

This photo was on the oldmotor.com once, where it says that it is a Thomas-Flyer 6-70. https://theoldmotor.com/?p=175722

That's a good point, I would have been better to say behind the firewall. On these FIAT's, you had to lift the bonnet/hood every time you wanted to fill the fuel tank, which wasn't convenient.

I'm not 100% sure, it's a bit hard to tell. Although, I do think it's something Italian.

I think it's a 509 FIAT. The fuel tank is probably in the scuttle which would match, and 509's were first built in 1925.

My best guess is that it was a 50's IHC R-160.

I thought this maybe in India, or somewhere in the subcontinent. If this is the case, I would have thought it would be worth more locally.

Yes, I think so. They look like Morris Minor hubcaps.

An IHC Type A, from about 1908.

A bit more info, the CB500-CB750 is close.

It's off a motorcycle, and that particular kill switch knob was distinctive on Honda's.

Yes, that's certainly a Morris engine, although I think it's actually a Cowley engine.

You can make out part of a makers mark on the uni-joint in the first photo. It partly says ...RT...Car Works...Downs. Mass.... I also want one of these.

That's a Haynes, 1916 I think. It could be either the straight six or the v-twelve, I'm not sure how to tell the difference.

It's a Columbia Six Roadster.

I think that's an Erskine.

Personally, I think it looks more of an Italian car, particularly with that style of steering wheel and the central control lever. Also, that particular type of touring car body style without doors was typically Italian. Apart from that, I don't know what it is. I can see the photo is dated 1921.

It's not a Summit, but the majority of them were actually sold in South Australia.

This is a Panhard & Levassor.

I've seen other photos of this vehicle in the Blue Mountains, so the Jenolan Caves connection seems likely.

I can add that this was bodied by Smith & Waddington from Sydney in 1922.

I think that's the mechanism from a reclining office chair.

This is a model 20R, made from 1920-24. 1920 was the first year of the coil front spring. The Super X came out in 1925 and have a lot more differences. With that type of headlamp, this is the 1922-24 style, 1920-21 had the 'Doughboy' style head lamp. The 20R was 1000cc, Super X 750cc.

I've been collecting spark plugs for a long time now. I know a couple of other collectors here, although there aren't many and I'm not aware of a club here. I don't know about books with values, but if you haven't already got them, the two books written by A.M. Parker in the 80's are very good. They cover the Australian plugs as well as whatever else was sold here. The title is Spark Plugs Vol.1 & Vol.2.
