This is chassis no 1797. This car was originally bodied as a Torpedo by
Barker; after two years of ownership, in 1914 its first custodian had it
re-bodied, by Barker, as a Landaulette. By 1982 the car existed only as
a rolling chassis, and the current Open-drive Landaulette body, by New
York coachbuilder F. R. Wood, originally mounted on a Thomas-Flyer, was
fitted.
