I don't think it's a Napier - they usually had the radiator filler on a very tall stack.
My guess would be a Fiat, probably a circa 1908 20-30hp, but that radiator shape is hardly unique; the front axle looks right for a Fiat, though. _________________ in the garage: 1938 Talbot Ten Airline

Hi
Could the second one be a Renault Colorale?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault_Colorale
I know the bonnet side is different, but there are some similarities to the
Vivaquatre in the first picture, equally it could be a pre or just post war American car _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.
Any 2 from:-
Straight 6
V8 V10 |
