Hi, My feel is for a purpose built Kappa of about 1920. Full electrics and very modern body. Regards Vintman |

'Charabanc' or 'Char à bancs' ? |

Charabanc most commonly in English. It was abbreviated to a chara' as an open-bodied bus with separate doors on each row of seats. The term was even in common use I guess, even if it was rather old-fashioned, into the 1940s and early 1950s for single-deck touring buses, or coaches that were used for sea-side holiday trips. |

This is not a car chassis but a commercial one (look at twin wheels on rear axle), so no Kappa. It's certainly an early model from Jota series: my feel is for Triota, because many of them were exported to UK. |
