Bob,
Thanks for that. Russ has a picture of "No 2" Sunbeam, which looks quite
similar to the picture you sent me. The first car was built in 1899, so
the pic you have must be "No 1".
Well Russell, you now have a picture of "No 1" for your site!
All this to prove that the Sunbeam-Mabley wasn't the first Sunbeam car,
and that the 'diamond' wheel layout wasn't used on the first car!
Cheers,
Paul.
