Not a car in the conventional meaning... I'd call it a carriage with one HP and rear wheel drive  :)

It's not a car actually, yes :)
I'm not also sure it's a Mustang prototype.

Now that's what I call "putting the cart before the horse". 

Ok, someone had to say it, right?   ::)

Ah ah !  It's the Khym hippomobile from the Tour de France caravan at Cognac.  "Khym" was the make of an aperitive. That was before Lance Armstrong, I think.

In times of alternative technologies filling the news every day, let's have some fun over the week-end.

For one point, please respond and tell me who invented this rear-engined horse carriage and when he did it.

Though I can't remember the name (it was one of Ray B.'s puzzles), I believe this is a re-post.

You have successfully gone half the way. I am looking for the name of the inventor (not Khym) and the date.

Locked for you till your next reply.

I searched for the inventor's name, not for Khym  ;D

I suggest, we leave this puzzle open as the inventor hasn't been named yet. When he's found, an editor might merge the puzzles.

I guess a hint is needed. The man in search - we know he's French - got a prize for it on an inventors' exhibition.
