1886 Benz Patent Motorwagen

            This is a replica of the 1886 Benz Patent MotorWagen, on show at Benz World, Surrey, England. The Patent Motorwagen is generally regarded as the 'first practical automobile'. What set this vehicle apart from others was that it was designed from the ground up as a car, rather than fitting an engine to horse-drawn carriage. In 1888 Karl Benz's wife, Bertha, took the car on a near 200km round trip to visit her mother, but also to convince her husband that his design was workable. In doing so she became the world's first 'motorist', not something that many male chauvinist drivers are keen to acknowledge!
