johnfromstaffs ◊ 2023-11-02 15:21	Ex the Wikipedia article: “The 10 hp was a development of Henry Royce's first car, the Royce 10, of which he produced three prototypes in 1903. This was itself based on a second-hand Decauville owned by Royce which he correctly believed he could improve. In particular, Royce succeeded in making his car significantly quieter than existing cars. Unlike the Royce 10 which had a flat-topped radiator, the Rolls-Royce 10 hp featured one with a triangular top which would appear on all subsequent cars.”
rjluna2 ◊ 2023-11-02 16:22	So, this could considered prototype example here John?
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2023-11-02 17:37	Yes, it might be so.
