Another puzzle from me.

Can anyone tell us what the name of this car is?

The picture has some Australian spirit, although the dogs look rather British. Is the car Australian?

Ohlmeyer Jigger 1904

And so named because of the suspension (or lack thereof)

A great story has just been published in relations to the Jigger by Jon Chittleborough , former Director of the National Motor Museum.
I don't want to link it, but you can find it easily
Picture: Ernst Ohlmeyer, seated in the Jigger built by his father, with Premier John Olsen, 1998.
