johnfromstaffs ◊ 2022-11-25 12:16	How can this thing be any more than a stage prop? Presumably someone had seen a newspaper photo of Camille Jenatzy's "La Jamais Contente"and built this vaguely similar replica. As, of course you will all know, this car was the first vehicle to exceed 100kph. Link to "www.carsales.com.au" -- Last edit: 2022-11-25 12:22:34

Another point: at that time it was very rare to use such small diameter wheels; so probably a fake...(It's also a little bit like capt Nemo, isn't it ? ) -- Last edit: 2022-11-25 20:35:23
