Please be so kind and tell me your thoughts about this model. What special feature is it intended to demonstrate? Who did it, when and why?

in 1974 -50 Years later- Lotus engineers catched up Prévos ideas. The model is from 1924 then? (at least it was made before 1928).

The puzzle-picture appeared in the September 1928 issue of the British 'The Automobile Engineer' magazine. One more point for you! Congratulation!
