Summary
A tinplate clockwork long car painted in blue with black roof, mud-guards and running board. The black roof canopy is supported at either side with three narrow grey bars and fastened to the front of the chassis with two black metal rods. A grey liveried chauffeur is at the wheel on a long bench seat with another bench seat in the back with green painted upholstery. There is a small window in the rear. Two doors are outlined in black and green on either side of the car. There are four grey and brown wheels on black axles with the clockwork mechanism attached to the back wheels. The black clockwork key protrudes at the right hand side in front of these wheels. The radiator has embossed silver lines on it with some rust marks.
