Hi

I took a picture of a vintage/veteran car today, went to load it onto my computer to post here and hopefully find some info on it, and my camera has taken what looks like black material, it must have been to dark in the shed or something.

So I have scoured the books and have found something simmilar, the car was very small, and had a round bonnet, a bit like a 1908 Nordenfelt, so maybe it was a rear engine, but has anyone else got any ideas, please help! I could go back, but it was a little shifty taking a picture today, never mind for a second time!

It also looks remoteley like a delaunay - belleville from the front, but was alot smaller!

Cheers

Dave Question

Hi

I have discovered what I was spying!

A 1902 Delaugere et Clayette, or one from a simmilar era, what an awesome little car, that seems to be of a very low power.

What was I saying about temptations, it needs a full resto, but could be good. Thankfully it isn't for sale, at least I don't think it is!

Cheers

Dave

the one I'm thinking of I think was a Phoenix (at least thats what I thought it was), with a circular radiator grille and chain drive to the back end?
