The Brighton Run, 2015

November 10, 2015 By pete

1899 single cylinder Brown Quadricycle of Mr David Oakley.

Brown Brother of London offered Tricycles and a light steam car. However as they did not have any manufactures premises, they offered the American Whitney as the Brown Whitney and also some cars made by Star. This Quadricycle, entered by Mr. David Oakley, hails from 1899 and is powered by a 2.25 cylinder engine.
