1910 FL_12-16hp_automobile_470

As expected not too many competing answers for this pre-WWI competition showing that the knowledge on these cars is dying out. According to the knowledgeable friend who provided the original photo the car on the left is a FIAT the one on the right a Daimler. Jurymember Ariejan Bos agrees on that. All three remaining competitors were right about the make FL and came up with various interesting details. Most correct and explanatory however was the the answer of Gerry Barrett who also explained about the british built FL's where the lettering n o longer refers to Eiffel, yet to the motto Floreat Lindum of the town Lincoln, which is latin for  'may Lincoln Florish'.  
Congratulations Gerry, you now have entered the illustre row of jurymembers! To all others, next week a new chance with a slightly easier car. Or if you prefer a bit more 'everyday' wheels, check this weekend's Postwar Puzzle. 

(special thanks to a good friend who provide the photograph and background information)
