nickelroadster Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I think we need to start a new forum. Leif's unidentified vehicles. Where are you getting all these pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 Those photos are from an young 80 year old man that have collected old parts from he was very very young,he also has a T-Ford 1912 and a Flanders 1911,Indian 1916 original condition.This guy told me in the middle of 1960s vere I could buy a 1925 Buick Std.Touring with only 15000 miles on,and I bought it in 1967 and still have the car left,he also found a body in the forest that had been used as a Elk hunting beat to my 1924 4cyl.Buick Touring.After I have solved the identification I can send them to the Automobil historic club where he and I are members,I also want to send the photos to the local photo historic club where I live.So I really hope I can get help with the identification on most of the pictures.I have a few more to be identified if possible.

Woodfiddler Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Leif - check out the 1910 Humber. http://www.svvs.org/genpics11/1910_Humber_16HP_Landaulette.jpg It has many similiarities, though possibly the wrong year.Also this beauty has many similiarities, also a Humber. http://www.svvs.org/genpics8/1909_Humber_Landaulette.jpg Good luck!Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 Chuck,You seems to be quite close with those photos of Humber:s,but the fenders looks a lot more simple on my photo,but the foot step looks very similar.Leif in Sweden.

Woodfiddler Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Leif - there is a bit more info here The Beeston-Humber and the Coventry-Humber | The Old Motor but as you mention the simple fenders, look at the car in the foreground, and its simple fenders. It is identified as a 1906, so maybe the Landaulet in your photo is on an earlier chassis? I'm still trying. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif Holmberg Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 Thanks Chuck,it dosen`t seems that we can came closer than the Humber around 1906-1908.Leif in Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I think it is more likely to be 1910 or so because the earlier models had more of a cutaway from the lower corners of the radiator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintman Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Hi Folks, Very pleased to note some of you have been using our Help Pages to search for the identity of this car. Proves that our free service is of help and is being used. I have been investigating this photo and have been in touch with some of our experts. Although the immediate thought was Humber, couple of items do not seem to be quite right. Primary problem was the wide sides to the radiator surround. No Humbers had such feature. Similarly I have no photos of the relatively weird rear hubs which are not Humber-like? The front mudguards would have had square sides. Not sure if the blob in the middle of the rad is a badge. Humber oval badge cca 1910.However our experts are convinced that it is a Humber and that it is a 16hp 100 x 130mm 4084cc date 1909. The single spoke steering wheel can be seen, and the long side levers (gear and brake) ball ended are Humber. Their thoughts are that 'typical' Humber hub caps appeared in 1910. My subsequent researches did come across a Beeston 30HP Humber of 1907 with such hubs and with the windscreen module positioned part way along the bonnet, but the radiator angle was too steep. So this one is later, probably this is cca 1908/9. Seems Humbers were widely exported, including to Scandinavia. Well done to all who guessed Humber, especially those from the other side of the pond!!RegardsVinman (UK)</SPAN>www.svvs.org</SPAN> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
