I've seen this car around Lake Havasu City for a couple of years, the amazing thing is that it has never been restored, this is it's original condition.  It got new tyres and some paintwork touchup in 1947 and thit is about it.

About 500 built in 1911, only 3 known to survive.

It looks bloody good for it's age then. Did you happen to see how many miles it has done?

I wondered about mileage too. Great condition for age though.

Good question, didn't think to ask, I'll try to find out next time I see it.  It does have an odometer driven from a big gear on the RH front wheel, no front brakes of course.

BTW did anyone notice that it is RHD, apparently early US cars where built with the steering wheel on either side (or in the center), Henry Ford was the first to standardise LHD.
