Earliest Surviving British Car?

Dr Alan Sutton’s Malvernia-Santler, which is now on show at Cardiff’s Industrial & Maritime Museum, is claimed to be the earliest surviving car used in Britain, which may well cause something of a stir in VCC circles. It was joined at the Museum by two sisters of the Santler family. The VCC has dated the car (bought at a1986 London auction) as experimental in 1889, reaching its present form by 1894 or earlier. WB
