This must be one of the very first 'Motor Homes' pictured on a 'black saturday': the predictable scenario every year with roads packed with cars on a hot Saturday in July or August trying to reach their holiday destination in time! Queus everywhere and no way to escape. Trying to keep up the good spirit with singing, candies, handies and the occasional ice-cream … How different was the situation more than 100 years ago. Look at this cheerful family having reached their destination in Spain: no sign of travel stress at all after a long trip from Posen in Germany (nowadays Poznan in Poland). It must be said that this early mobile home (not the very first, that is another story!) was taking part in an organised trip in the style of the Monte Carlo rallye, with participants driving from cities all over Europe to the same town in the North of Spain. The make of the car in the photo was widely established among aviators and was well-known for its exuberant bodies. So please tell us the make, year and type of the car and if possible also about Posen-San Sebastian, in which it took part. Yet to make a chance winning the infamous PreWarCar T-shirt and before posting your answer under 'comments' be sure to read The Rules under Read More.
