The clues say it's American and 1916. No Terry, it's not a steam car, it had a leaking radiator when I took that picture last year, but it had been fixed when I saw it again last Saturday.What's this?

Re: What's this?
we've had a Jowett.....here's something else from up North......clue, the motorcycle it's based on was pretty sophisticated in it's day, elegant too, but this attempt to turn it into a light car doesn't really work aesthetically, despite the early spaceframe you can see a glimpse of below the door, and one of these ended up killing it's creator, but not in an accident!
