Trying to identify a B2

[KiwiB2]

Hello

I am in New Zealand and I am considering purchasing a B2 torpedo which may be available soon.

We do not know what year the car is, there are things incorrect on it and many things missing.

From these photos, is it possible to say what year the car is, and which parts are incorrect. To me, the windscreen frame looks more like a-type, but I am not an expert. These cars are very rare here so I am hoping you can all help me!

Thank you

Bonjour

Je suis en Nouvelle-Zélande et j'envisage d'acheter une torpille B2 qui sera peut-être bientôt disponible.

Nous ne savons pas de quelle année est la voiture, il y a des choses incorrectes dessus et beaucoup de choses manquent.

À partir de ces photos, est-il possible de dire de quelle année est la voiture et quelles pièces sont incorrectes. Pour moi, le cadre du pare-brise ressemble plus à un type A, mais je ne suis pas un expert. Ces voitures sont très rares ici, alors j'espère que vous pourrez tous m'aider !

Merci

Hello,

Welcome on 10hp forum, I am not an expert about B2 topics but I think that someone should have answers about your questions.

Bienvenue sur le forum 10hp, je ne suis pas un expert sur les sujets B2 mais je pense que quelqu'un devrait avoir des réponses à vos questions.

J'espère que quelqu'un pourra me dire de quelle année est la voiture et quelles pièces ne sont pas correctes.

Hello,
I could be wrong, but the flat fenders and trapezoidal belt would indicate 1923, or even 1922.
After 1923, the fenders were rounded.
And earlier, the fan belt was flat.
The windshield doesn't look right to me: in those years, it was in 2 parts: a pivoting upper one, and a fixed lower one.
But then again, I'm no expert. I rely on all the research I did for mine.
The dynamo generator is missing,
And it would be better to find a Solex 26GHF carburetor in place of the existing.
Good luck with the rest. Nice car in any case.

Thank you! I think the windscreen is from an earlier A-type, but I am no expert on these cars. Tomorrow I hope to visit someone with a spare engine. I hope it has the dynamo, and possibly the correct carburetor.
