Keep up at the back there The clues say it's American and 1916. No Terry, it's not a steam car, it had a leaking radiator when I took that picture last year, but it had been fixed when I saw it again last Saturday.

Are we looking at a LaFrance Speedster?

We are indeed! Your turn.

we've had a Jowett.....here's something else from up North......clue, the motorcycle it's based on was pretty sophisticated in it's day, elegant too, but this attempt to turn it into a light car doesn't really work aesthetically, despite the early spaceframe you can see a glimpse of below the door, and one of these ended up killing it's creator, but not in an accident!

I am sure I have seen that so now I am going to be scratching my head all evening trying to remember where.

oooooohhhh

A Scott Sociable

If I'm right, and I believe I am, someone else take my turn please or you'll probably get a photo of a clutch pedal clevis pin from something in the garage cos I don't get out enough

Just had to look up what killed him, just goes to show tha shudn't gon't moor baht 'at

Correct! If o won the lottery, which will never happen as I don't buy a ticket, a Scott would be on the list, or if I was really lucky a 70's Silk reinterpretation of the flying squirrel......soooooo coooool interesting that Alfred Scott invented the kickstarter...shame he rode around in his sociable in wet clothes!

Well if that hadn't killed him the dodgy steering capability probably would have, daft Yorkshire man riding round in his potholing clothes, could only happen on't wrong side of't Penines

well I would say that being from Lancashire
