I am restoring 1912 Lancia Epsilon Coupe that was formerly in the LI Motor Museum in the early 1950s.  Interior photos of similar cars would be very much appreciated.  Fairly certain the body is by Holbrook, but still researching that.

Siddeley cars, circa 1905, from the brief period between Herbert Austin relinquishing the company and when it became Wolseley-Siddeley.

 

The four cylinder engine is unusual in having the block and cylinders cast as one, and then having individual heads for each cylinder. The head joints are 'angled', much as you would expect and poppet valve pocket to be. An acquaintance had one of these engines, so I had a chance to study it. Engine speed was controlled by a complex system of levers which altered the valve lift.

Am hoping for your indulgence, not brass era but a Model T Ford and not one that most can identify with!

Layden, was this photo in a book? I'd be interested to see what info there is.

Reminiscent of the triple berline posted above is this double berline. Not yet sure of the chassis.
