With little to keep us occupied day after day, here’s a puzzler. Can anyone offer a suggestion as to what this car might be? The date is around 1905-1908.

Thanks, Paul. I shall pursue that line of enquiry but open to other suggestions?

Thanks, Rich. That looks like a better fit, by the style of the radiator, than the Delahaye. It would also fit with the cars listed at a possible event, the 1907 Cultra Hill Climb, which include a 15-20 hp Panhard.

Try an 18/30 which (since this is an Irish photo) is known at the U2
Bono and co will be pleased |

Many thanks, Kevin. I must admit I don’t understand your U2 comment! Is the car in Ireland? If so, it could well be the one in the photo.
P.S. Thanks for the results although I already have the full report of the event

Oops- it was meant to say known as the U2
the rest was just the obvious resulting pun I'm afraid :-( |

Come on Simon. Wake up ! I am much older than you, but even I have heard of the Irish band U2 led by one Mr Bono !

Colin,
It’s not that I haven’t heard of U2, and the pretentious Bono (what a ridiculous name), but I hadn’t understood Kevin's comment “is known at the U2” - hence my query. Once Kevin clarified his typo, all was clear!
