In England they were the "Model Y" In Germany they were "KOLN Model's" and changed to the Eiffle.

For example, a Custom Koln 2 Fenstrige 4 silzige Sport Cabriolet

rockfla · 07-26-2024, 10:55 AM

the Eiffle's

I believe that is a model C 10hp.

cas3 · 07-26-2024, 05:23 PM

10 HP ! My goodness that makes a model T seem like a race car at 20 HP

HP ratings are calculated differently in Europe. For example the 21 stud bone stock 33 Ford is rated at 21 HP. The 350 SBC is rated at 51 HP here in France. Car registration fees are based on HP ratings here.

The tax horsepower or taxable horsepower was an early system by which taxation rates for automobiles were reckoned in some European countries such as Britain, Belgium, Germany, France and Italy; some US states like Illinois charged license plate purchase and renewal fees for passenger automobiles based on taxable horsepower. The tax horsepower rating was computed not from actual engine power but by a mathematical formula based on cylinder dimensions. At the beginning of the twentieth century, tax power was reasonably close to real power; as the internal combustion engine developed, real power became larger than nominal taxable power by a factor of ten or more.

In the UK a ford V8 was a 30hp (taxable) the V860 was a 22 horse. The UK hp rating was calculated on bore diameter which stifled engine development as the system favoured small bore and longer stroke motors.

Good info here:

Slap a 460 in there!

corvette8n · 08-02-2024, 07:13 AM

Looks like it’s left hand drive, is that correct?

deuce lover · 08-02-2024, 08:19 AM
