Ohlmeyer Jigger. Today's featured vehicle.

Here we have the only one of these Ohlmerer Jigger cars ever made this car was made in 1904. Albert Ohlmeyer built this car in Tanunda South Australia. This is rather a unique vehicle as Albert built the car with a pivoting steering wheel and controls. To stop it becoming bogged on bad roads Albert would hop out and drive the Jigger from alongside of it. How cool of an idea is that lol.

The Jigger is fitted with a 4.5 HP engine and uses a Redgum clutch. (redgum is a type of tree here in Australia).

This car the Jigger has survived it's 115 years very well. I would love to have a drive of it for something different to experience.

Thanks for following along.
