Juha Paavo Kaita Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Hi!Hope you are not getting tired me putting up these mystery auto photos from distant Finland. I find this forum very educative and enjoyable to me. And I save a lot of time asking from folks more familiar with automotive history.Anyway - here is a photo of a car which I think is a Star Rear Enterance Tonneau round 1904. One man here said it is ultra rare French made Regal. I find this hard to believe. Hope again here your opinios on this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Just off the top of my head, I'm thinking Overland, but that front axle doesn't look like Overland, and it sits up so high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintman Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Hi,Relatively sure it is not a Star (UK) as all pictures of the Star that I have during the 03-05 period had the front of the bonnet edge square on to the airflow, thickness of the metal. Sometimes a thin brass surround. The dished angled brass surround was on the earlier cars but these did not have the protruding radiator, just a flap. I do not have any info on the French Regal (03/04) RegardsVintman (UK)Classic Cars, Veteran Cars and Vintage Cars - The Surrey Vintage Vehicle Society Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Bond Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 The exposed radiator is a clue, but a lot of early cars used that including Darracq and Panhard. I'm guessing it could be Darracq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TG57Roadmaster Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Juha,I think Terry hit it with Darracq, circa 1901-2. Check out this cool site of Brighton-era cars...Brighton-Early : DarracqHyvää Uuttavuotta,TG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
