Summary
Tinplate clockwork car with chauffeur. Red with a black roof. The windscreen, rear window and six side windows are all open. Black all in one front and rear mud guards and running board. There is a moving lever on the right hand side of the car (as you look at it from the front). On the same side is a key which operates the clockwork mechanism attached to the rear axel of the car. Wires run from this mechanism to the front glass headlights which lit up by a now missing battery. The rear light is protected by a hinged rectangular metal box. Pierced through this box is 'Slop/ 351'.
