Tricky Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 Wouldn't have a clue where they were made but, is it an Austin? Quote
fatbaldbloke Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 I'm really guessing, but is the odd engine type a sleevevalve, and is the north-east car manufacturer Humber? Quote
Captain Colonial Posted July 19, 2011 Author Posted July 19, 2011 OK, not an Austin, not a Humber, not a sleeve valve engine. I'm going to have to get more specific for you as this one is quite hard. The engine only had six moving parts... And two of those were crankshafts. Quote
Captain Colonial Posted July 19, 2011 Author Posted July 19, 2011 Ha ha, no, it actually made 25 bhp! Next clue will make Buzz happy - it were made in Yorkshire. Quote
Captain Colonial Posted July 19, 2011 Author Posted July 19, 2011 Are you naming a car or a place? It's wrong, either way! Quote
V8grunt Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Looks to late to be a Beaver? Mind you what "Beaver" means in your language would be right up your street! Quote
Captain Colonial Posted July 19, 2011 Author Posted July 19, 2011 I couldn't possibly comment...! Except to say it isn't a Beaver! C'mon you lot, your Googling skills are weak today. > Pre-1925 > Yorkshire made > Engine only has six moving parts, two of which are crankshafts Two new clues: > Huddersfield made > Named after what the engine didn't have Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Go on then, its the "Valveless" by David Brown Gears, (I think I must have been channelling the spirit of Blatters there...) Quote
Captain Colonial Posted July 19, 2011 Author Posted July 19, 2011 Hooray! At last! Indeed it is the Valveless car - check out the funky engine diagram in the link - amazing stuff. Well done mate, your turn! Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Wow. OK, here goes... clicky Quote
Captain Colonial Posted July 19, 2011 Author Posted July 19, 2011 The front bumper looks like an inverted Citroen logo, but right now I can't get the thought out of my head that the car is eating those people. Don't know, so I'll call it the Pac-Man. Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 It's devious, but strangely obvious IYSWIM Quote
pistonbroke Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Huddersfield ! Not exactly the North East, is it ? Quote
