Zebre Type Z moteur 433 ,
Zebre, Type C, engine # 433,
Zebre Tup Z, Motor Nr 433.
.
1928
Chassis: Z433 series 5, with engine Z145: Graeme Simpson.
Australian coupe body by Martin & King, with Hersot front
brakes, Frenex shock dampers, side-mounted spare wheel(s),
rev counter driven by Bosch magneto, Ducellier headlights,
19 x 5.50 tyres (originally 775 x 145 BE).
Our car Z433/5, with engine Z145:
Found in Coburg, first immatriculation Melbourne, Vic: 22406
– year not known, but thought to be 1928.
How to identify a Z10 car:
On the Z-10, the chassis number is
stamped on the spring hanger brackets at each corner of the
chassis. It would not be known or visible unless the bare metal
is exposed. Z433 carries ‘433’ at each corner. See picture below.
No separate ID plate is fitted to the chassis.
The centre plate shown is riveted to
the near side of the crankcase bell-housing – I’ve highlighted in
red the applicable paragraph in my email below. Below this ‘Série’
plate the actual engine number is stamped on to the crankcase
casting. This ‘Série’ plate on the engine for Z433 also carries the
number 5
The Portuguese Z-10 pics are most interesting. especially in
the differences to be noticed among not only these 3, but
also with Ricardo’s current, Ian Loader’s & our Z-10s.
1: Our Z433 has only 1 bank of large bonnet louvres like a very early car of which I have a picture; all others including Ricardo’s personal car have 2 banks of finer louvres.
2: Headlights appear to be all Ducellier except Ricardo’s current, but the mountings differ a lot. The centre car alone is similar to ours: presumably Ducellier stanchions.
3: The 3 Portuguese cars seem to have a radiator mascot – do you know anything of this? It looks like an animal head.
4: The far 2 of the Portuguese cars, ours & Ricardo’s have 4-wheel brakes. Jean Reviel, Loader, Ricardo’s personal car do not.
5: The closest of the Portuguese cars, Ricardo’s current & Reviel’s cars are all left hand drive.
6: The far 2 Portuguese cars have Frenex dampers on the springs, same as ours.
7: I’d guess that these 3 are Série 3 or 4. Do any survive, I wonder?
