About the picture:
Designed for Sunbeam by Maxwell Maberley Smith, it is remarkable for having its wheels laid out in a diamond formation. This unconventional design was intended to prevent the car from skidding. It is powered by a single cylinder 2¾ hp De Dion engine, and the cylinder head is water cooled, while the block is air cooled. Power is delivered to the middle two wheels via a belt and two gears, while the front and rear wheels are for steering. If that wasn’t unusual enough the driver sits in the back, steers by means of a tiller! The Mabley sold for £130 when it first went on sale and approximately 130 were built.
