Could be a tight fit trying to get behind that steering wheel.  :)

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

Not AFAIK. When the photo was taken, it was part of a private collection.

It's quite an interesting car. I've found it, but Pal's done all the work - it's the spirit of goodwill in the New Year.

Thanks for your generosity. It's Albert Procter's self-built car from 1907.

It's not exactly "state of the art" for 1907! Still, I couldn't have done it.

Originally envisioned to be an electric car, but eventually built with a Ford petrol engine.
