Experts?

Panhard

Amsterdam · February 11, 2011, 11:53:06 AM

Very far from that.

Tackitt · February 12, 2011, 05:57:46 PM

Steam?

Amsterdam · February 12, 2011, 06:24:06 PM

I am not sure, but I don't think so. The story on this is more about the man behind the car, than about the car itself.

Amsterdam · February 27, 2011, 01:34:23 PM

Pro's?

Tackitt · February 28, 2011, 04:51:21 AM

Is the man in the driver's seat Frank Duryea?

Amsterdam · February 28, 2011, 08:13:07 AM

No, that's not him, neither is he American.

No that's not him.

I did not know the name Tommy Oates, but afther a quick search it seems he was the first to import a car to New Zealand, but he did not built one him self. also it seems that he was the first to be fined for speeding!

No, not him either.

I have found a mention of a man named Dennison who made automobiles in New Zealand at the turn of the last century.
Him?

Amsterdam · March 03, 2011, 12:20:15 AM

No, also not him, This guys main activity was not building cars. He only made his own.

pnegyesi · June 13, 2011, 12:43:26 PM

Did he make his automobile in the 19th century?
