La Jamais Contente

La Jamais Contente
I've long been interested in historic cars and this one deserves far more recognition. It is "La Jamais Contente", which in 1899 became the world's fastest road vehicle and the first to exceed 100 km/hr. It also ran on an electric motor. I saw it in the museum at Le Bourget Airport in Paris (it is now in the National Car and Tourism Museum in Compiègne). I thought ot this when I visited an electric vehicle show in Sydney (the PiP shows just a tiny corner of the large building-wide display). .

Not sure I'd want to go that fast in that vehicle. Interesting info, George, and a great photo.

100km/hr would be pretty scary in this, great history though.
