Was this the first and/or only motorized vehicle built by this man?
Title: Re: PN #1239
Post by: pnegyesi on November 11, 2019, 12:50:30 AM

I need to apologise to everybody who participated in this puzzle.
I was looking at the caption and did not read the accompanying article carefully.

So the car on the picture is a Peugeot. But there is still a significance to it, which is mentioned on a website. So if you combine Peugeot and the man in question you still get an interesting result. Would you like to pursue it or should I reveal it and move on?
