What is this vehicle? A PH Challenge

[Ecurie Ecosse]

Hi Guys

My friend runs a Cinema Heritage group and has asked if I can identify the truck below and its dates of manufacture, which was used as a mobile cinema in Ireland in the early 1900s, as it will help him date the picture.

Anyone know? Someone thought it might be a Stanley?

Sorry the picture is inverted but it's beyond my IT skills to sort it.

The gauntlet has been thrown

The fact it has 'Stanley Steamer' on the radiator may offer a clue.

Looks like a Straker Squire.



I would say it's early 20s.

Thanks guys - I will do a bit of research on Straker Squires.

Good to hear from you again, Funk. Ahhh, I remember the excitement when we were waiting for our 123ds to be delivered

Doesn't match the Straker Squire naming style though.

And you, chap. I miss that 1er, it was a good, fun car to drive. I'm about a week away from picking up a 328i convertible and I'm rather excited by that to be honest!
