nzcarnerd Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Needs some research but possibly either a Calcott or a Calthorpe from around 1910. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Macartney Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Nice photo. Not dissimilar to the 1914 Humberette cyclecar that I am restoring and recording on the AACA forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzcarnerd Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 It is the Calcott Light Car, the early 1913-14 variant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintman Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 The ‘hump’ of the radiator is way above height of bonnet and on Calthorpe it is nearly the same height. So, as not Calthorpe, the radiator does however have relatively sharp leading edges which suggests it is one of the early Calcott cars which began manufacture only in 1913. Soon after. the radiator had a slightly curved leading edge. Car also has slightly elongated sidelights and no door handle which suggest 1914, so I would go for a cca 1914 Calcott 10.5 HP Two Seater & Dickey with a 1.5 L engine Regards Vintman www.svvs.org 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
