For a point, tell me who made this, in what year, and what was it called?

Up to Professional level. I thought this one would have been solved before now.

Well that's the Wolseley Motor Sledge that went with Capt. Scott's last expedition to the Antarctic in 1910
Here it is in Antarctica, probably with Bernard Day at the controls:


ETA no it's not Antarctica as there are trees! Must be a test run in Scandinavia or perhaps the Southern Alps (NZ).

Exactly correct, I didn't think it would last long. I understand Wolseley did a lot of their testing in Norway, where I'd think the above photo was probably taken.

Another photo of three at the Wolseley works.
