This beautiful car with a body Torpedo was found in Australia, and survives today in the original finish and perfectly preserved original elements (note the double green lines on the leaf springs and along the edge of the body, as well as on the spokes of the wheels).

It was the first car in the world where you installed the predecessor of the compressor to automatically start the engine by compressed air. It was an absolute innovation of the era, fixed patent SCAT.
