1912 Lorraine Dietrich 15 Litre GP

for one moment I thought 1812 ... ;-) the overture of course ;-) ...
very fine Roger indeed to view ... what wonderful condition !

I think, fired up it would happily accompany Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's overture; 'Tis a fine specimen, I believe one of the oldest original automobiles in the Brooklands collection. For all of its 15 litre capacity, it is a 158hp (at 1,500 rpm) straight four with siamesed cylinder pairs and two spark plugs per combustion chamber and its records at Brooklands still stand. The car was once owned by Malcolm Campbell (all information from Brooklands display).

admired in WHEELS 4U

Thanks :-)

Une magnifique grande dame
