      This one is a Benz Patent Motorwagen 1885.
      This was made from coat hangers, scrap wood, bits from an old printer, even buttons lol :)

                        Hi John, yes, just after I restored my lathe , the first project was a small oscillating engine, which was supposed to be run on steam, but as I’ve no boiler I run it on compressed air, I love model engineering, I have a Myford ML7 lathe and a bench top milling machine etc, I have started a large traction engine, but the expense of a boiler was enormous, the wife said no, so I decided to carry on with the build with the intention of running it by a motor hidden inside, I’ll hunt for some pictures :thumbsup:

                              Yes John,that’s the intention, there’s still a lot left to do, engine block, piston, con rods etc, then a trailer which will be the drivers seat, through the winter months I’m hoping to complete most of the tedious parts :)
