All credit to these guys! They have come from Germany with this old lorry just to watch the Veteran Car Run.

But something tells me they didn't drive it all the way here!!
I also notice that it is right hand drive. I do wonder how they came by it.

I had also wondered about the tread depth, maybe solid tyres are exempt?
A few other vehicles with solid tyres had no tread either...
This is a Pierce-Arrow from WW1 era, and as such is too new to take part in the run, but loads of people with collectable vehicles came along to drive the route, just for fun.

It is unusual, but as I said to Steve, it is a Pierce-Arrow.
Since it is from WW!,maybe it got abandoned in Germany somewhere, and the forefathers of these guys rescued it. I am only guessing!

Glad you like it!
I don't know the exact specs, but looking at the solid tyres, and similar vehicles, I would say they would be lucky to get more than 30mph out of it. I also suspect it came over here on the back of a bigger lorry!
