Wow, it made it up to the pro-level... :cheer:

This is Louis Tuchscherer´s first car.

It is said, that it has made its first trip in 1880 (!), powered by a two stroke gas or petrol engine.
Who can say if this is right or wrong today?

Here´s the german wikipedia site:

Well done, it is the first of two cars built by Louis Tuchscherer. There is a lot of controversy about the date of build (just like, but not as prominent as the discussion about the Austrian Marcus-Wagen). The dates range somewhere between 1880 and 1906.

One well-earned point for you.
