 Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2018 10:26 am Post subject: Napier Chaise..... can someone help |
 |
|
Hi All
First time posting on this forum so forgive me if I’m in the wrong area.
I have a chaise with wheels of a Napier Car in my front garden as a feature (Will try attach photos). I’m trying to find out if anyone can tell what model it is and any other information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much. |

Napier built 4258 cars from 1900 to 1924. You may have a sought after chassis...does it have an engine or any other parts?
Please post some photos. |

| Thanks for posting the photos, Slim. The first thing to say is that the chassis has been truncated at the front. |

| Truncated meaning cut off / missing? |

I'm not sure if it is missing or has just been cut off and fitted under the back part. That's just my initial opinion. I am sure other people will have something more to add. The handle standing up to the right hand side is the gear lever.
The rear wheels are mounted on a braked axle. No front wheel brakes. That is normal for a 'twenties car. |

Hi Slim,
Thanks for posting the photos. It's a bit of a mystery item. Has it previously been a motor vehicle that has been cut up and used to construct a steerable trailer?
Peter
