Selam ◊ 2013-10-11 13:52	This is the original 1907 Metallurgique-Maybach. Built in 1907 with an 11 litre engine, re-engined in 1910 with a 21 litre, 6 cylinder Maybach Zepplin engine. The head had been replaced by an aluminium one in the late 1950's, reducing weight and increasing speed. The car was owned at the time by Douglas Fitz-Patrick of Sheringham, who drove it in the film race sequences. -- Last edit: 2013-10-11 13:53:03
