1907, wow still have driven tractors with hand throttle so different to modern or even old cars, that's a gem will look for it next time I visit. Prob seen it but better understanding now.
I worked on a dark green 1907 Onion roadster/runabout back in the 80's that had been in New Zealand and brought here the the US. It was literally the toughest built pre-war car I have ever seen. Everything is well reinforced and the body was very stable even on the roughest roads we took it on. That was in Fort Lauderdale Florida and belonged to Syl Seager. That was my first job as a teen, restoring early brass cars. I think the car must have a very heavy flywheel because it didn't lose any rpm's when you engaged the clutch. always wondered where it went.

I have a 1912 Alldays and I have a list of all the known cars worldwide.
Mine is a 4 cylinder 12/14hp open tourer.
