Juha Paavo Kaita Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Hj. Linder was not the first car owner in Finland. The first one was Mr. Viktor Forselius. When Linder got interested in autos he bought very impressive collection on cars. This included 1901 Mors, Leon Bollee, 1905 Mercedes Simplex and two Rolls-Royces.Enclosed is a photo taken in Mustio Finland. This is the home of Linder. I do not know if all cars in a line are owned by Linder or if he had some of his friends visiting his home. It would be interesting to hear your comments on the make and model of the cars in the line.Juha KaitanenTurku, Finland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 The second car back looks to be a 1912 Hupmobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manuel Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Looking at the first car.......could it be one of those big chain driven Mercedes? Or Benz's?If so, it would be more fun to drive than the Hupp Manuel in Oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juha Paavo Kaita Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Thank you very much for your help again. I think the fouth car is Opel. Hjalmar Linder owned also Leon Bollee but the forth car is not Leon Bollee. The fifth car is very difficult to identify. I called to the museum in Mustio mansion and they told me that the photo was taken in Kytäjä mansion which Mr. Linder also owned.I enclose a phto of Linder´s Leon Bollee and Mors.Juha KaitanenTurku, Finland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juha Paavo Kaita Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 I was too quick with my reply. When taking a second look of the photos of the cars owned by Mr. Linder I noticed that the fouth car is actually also Benz but from 1912 or so.Juha KaitanenTurku, Finland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
