I remember how the first cars to be produced were rather similar to horse carriages with upright windscreens.

Is there anyone that can still remember the horse and trap in the days before the motor car?
Good Heavens, Malcolm, how long ago was that?
And, no, but I do remember the "rag and bone man" coming round in a horse drawn cart. There were cars etc on the roads though, even in Lancashire!

Write your comments here...Apparently, when the motor car was first introduced, it was required that someone should walk in front with a red flag to warn other road users that there was a motor car coming! The maximum speed then was about 10 mph!
