Ever seen this car ?
I know very little about it myself.
One point if you find it, another if you find more informations about it.

I've found reference to it from a period magazine dating it to 1933. It was built by a Bradford based engineer and was 27 inches tall. No mention of the engineers name and although the magazine calls it a Daschund car I'm not sure thats anything to do with its real name. Another online source calls it a Bradley but I don't know how reliable that is.

We haven't seen Ray B for over a year so getting a response from him may be difficult.
