Robin and Rollo

display_0957d51541

Robin Batchelor, the hot-air balloon pilot who spots lots of interesting cars from the basket, has obtained a 1913 JAP-engined Rollo cyclecar, which he found when he went to see the only 1916 bullnose Morris older than his own. Neither car had been out for about thirty years, but the Morris is now also in good hands.

Robin is learning to drive the Rollo, which has steering akin to that on his first pedal-car, and would like to know whether anyone remembers these Birmingham-made machines.
