Any idea, anybody? Can this be a pre-WWIIJapanese car? (I don't know why, I find it has some Italian taste.) |

But I don't believe it is Italian! ...maybe an Otha ??? -- Last edit: 2013-10-21 16:24:32 |

Is there a picture showing the front suspension? |

I have this: I'm affraid I wouldn't find anything more precise. |

Actually, next is the 'lowest' front view: |

I was hoping that the front suspension would be independent and we might therefore say it was a post-war car cobbled up to look like a pre-war one. No such luck. Instead we appear to have beam axles suspended on cart springs both fore and aft. The other interesting point is that the car has hydraulic brakes by the look of it. The only further information I can offer is that if this were a British car, it would most likely be a Morris, Wolseley or MG chassis with those brakes and cart springs. Maybe those with a better knowledge of pre-war European cars can help. |

In a sense, it is good news that the car is a real pre-war model. (I can't get pictures of early Japanese models, except some Datsun which don't match, and this 1938 Nissan which I find pretty close to ours.) |
