This car is believed to be the first British petrol-driven car to run on public roads

Evicted Pottage Island Figures rest beneath a treeEvicted, 1884. An MP wonders what he will do with himself now his seat has fallen into the redistribution trap. The Redistribution Bill was a companion to the Franchise Bill. It provided for the merger of a number of constituencies with adjacent ones. The result would not only create new seats, but would also remove others. From Punch, or the London Charivari, December 13, 1884.
