Wow, it made it up to the pro-level...

This is Louis Tuchscherer´s first car.

It is said, that it has made its first trip in 1880 (!), powered by a two stroke gas or petrol engine.
Who can say if this is right or wrong today?

Well done, it is the first of two cars built by Louis Tuchscherer. There is a lot of controversy about the date of build (just like, but not as prominent as the discussion about the Austrian Marcus-Wagen). The dates range somewhere between 1880 and 1906.

One well-earned point for you.
