Percy Riley's First Car (1896-8)

Although very little is known about this car, it was undoubtedly a major milestone. Percy built the car over a period of two years, in his own workshop, presumably on his own - his father disapproved. It featured many elements unusual in car design at the time - steering by wheel as opposed to tiller; Mechanically-operated valve gear (the first car to ever use this); Mud guards!

ENGINE 2¼hp single cylinder.	TRANSMISSION Leather belt drive, probably single gear.
SUSPENSION Dog-cart Semi-elliptic all round.	BRAKES rear only.

More shall be added when I find it!
