 Clarke Mayze from Australia is showing off his very original 'Black' Model 112 Motorbuggy circa 1906. From Georgano we understand Black was a Chicago firm who made high wheelers propelled by a 10HP aircooled 2 cylinder. Clarke reports: 'The Black' is in unrestored condition and was an original Melbourne automobile from new and was owned by a Doctor who resided in the eastern area of Melbourne (see the video how a high wheeling Melbourne ride was back in 1906! quite possible this was filmed from the motorcar depicted above !!!). It is fitted with many factory options, is fully operational, and registered to travel on roads. 'The Black' had been locked away in storage we estimate for some 80–90 years. The original condition of this motorbuggy is simply stunning and we are both very proud to have such a unique auto in our possession. Many people view this auto as the most original old vehicle still running in Australia." (photos Clarke & Lin Mayze) |
