A mystery car from another period
Vasapa Suvarnpradip sent in this photo of a mystery car, that definitely was taking in another period than today.
The man in the photo is believed to be Rhama VI. The Sixth King of the Chakri-Dynasty in Thailand, from 1910 - 1925.
If that is correct, the photo was taken before 1925.
What we see is a big car, what looks like a little round/pointy radiator, straight bonnet, beaded edge tyres, round roof.
Can you tell us more?
Enjoy your week.

As is evident from the photo, the top edge of the radiator is slightly rounded and moreover by the lighting the very shallow V-shape of the radiator is visible. This observation together with bodywork, mudguard shape etc. makes it a Napier of at least 1915, but probably even later.

Bill Bishop has nailed it! 60hp or 65hp Date c. 1910.

The car, unless I'm mistaken, it a 40/50 Napier with likely coachwork by Cunard. Early twenties so unlikely 1910. Electric lamps would be very unusual around that period.

A Napier with out doubt. Mostly a 60 or 65 hp due to the crankhandle passing through the radiator core. On a 40 or 45hp it passes under the radiator.
Napier catalogues always lists the distinguished owners of their cars and they list H.M .The King of Siam and followed by a number highly ranked Indian owners.
It would be sure of the location of the photo. Bill Bishop.

Could this be a Napier ? The radiator looks like as a big version (not the 15 HP)

I'm sure it's a Napier, maybe a six-cylinder 40/45HP? Although later than 1910, more likely in the 1918-19-20 era.
