Delivered in 1902 to Messrs Rudge
Whitworth Ltd., for despatch to South Africa,
where it was delivered to Garlicks for despatch to
Dr. Walhatter of Worcester. Apparently in use
until the mid 1920s when the car was relegated to
a barn on the Doctor's farm. In 1956 Crankhandle
member Ernst Van der Horst tracked down the car.
In 1960 the restoration was started, finishing in
1966. In 1979 the car was owned by a Mr. Malan,
but under the care of the Crankhandle Club.
