1817 Year: 1926 Owner: John Kyle This is an unusual creature,
well in NZ it is any way. There is a similar machine in england, and they
have named theirs a "Puddock" Welsh for Frog, as this is the motion it makes
as it leaps aroung the rally field.
This particular model is a 4HP Compound. During its life it was converted to a diesel, but in preservation it was reverted back to steam. An addition has been the rubber tyres and the original roof canopy. Notice also the headlights on the front and the rear view mirror. |
