    Impressive piece of machinery!

  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    ccferrie Excellent! So it looks as if these were Wolseleys, whether or not "touring cars".
  • ccferrie said:
    National Library of Ireland on The Commons The nearer one certainly is - I'm not sure about the far one. The rear mudguard profile is more like some of the Benz cars I was looking at yesterday, although the body looks the same as the Wolseley.
  • ccferrie said:
    BTW I thought the fencing might help identify the precise location on Chesterfield Avenue but it looks like it might be temporary fencing put in pace for the race. It looks like they are travelling down hill and into the sun so most probably in the direction of the city.

    ccferrie If you care to hazard a streetview, I'll speedily add it to our Flickr map?
