The 1903 Georges Richard Type H 10hp Twin-cylinder Two-seater Brougham is one of the most photographed cars on the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run.
Unlike most entrants, the occupants of this car have the rare benefit of a roof, providing them with a snug cabin.
They have the rare benefit of a roof, its perpendicular cabin still cribbing heavily from styling cues from the horse-drawn carriages that pre-dated the motor car.
The driver accesses the cosy cabin by clambering past two levers and the bulbous rubber part of the brass horn to be ensconced into the deep-buttoned leather seat.
This car is up for sale at the Bonhams Cars Golden Age of Motoring sale.
