Summary

Motor car driven in second annual Adelaide University Students Procession on 17 December 1906. It was driven by F. Williams with assistance from E. Cocking, with passenger (protem) H. Flinders Mitchell, and pulled by a horse. The car was built by Charles Trescowthick at his works in Bent Street, Adelaide. The 2.3/4 hp air cooled DeDion engine number suggests that it was built in 1905, but it was under-powered, so the motor was removed and built into a tri-car which survives. Charles Henry Trescowthick was born at Angaston in 1871, and died in France in 1916. [Extra information provided by The Veteran Car Club of SA].
