Look at that wheels! They look many decades younger than the car...
As near as I can tell, that is a picture of the car when new.
Sure, I was just really amazed of that very very forward looking and functional wheel design. It´s even more revolutionary than the very functional aluminium Bugatti wheels of the 1920s.
Agreed.
Pennington Autocar?
Not one of those...
Jeantaud?
Not one of those...
Not from France, this shocking beauty. Built during what may have been the first climax for a town associated with automotive wonders.
Is it a Jenatzy?
No sir.
Is it a Lefert?
No sir.
I know what it is!
It's a Garrard and Blumfield Electric Brake of C1894.

Thank you Otto, this one had been puzzling me for a while, once I had realised that it wasn't Belgian (I thought it had a similarity to Jenatzy's La Jamais Contente) I started looking in different places, and your climax clue was more than helpful.
Another easy point. Who (which company) built this automobile and when?
Experts?
And professionals?
Lamborghini Urraco prototype?
