Parting Shot (not Austin 7) - Tony Press - 28-01-2018
According to 'Parting Shot' in the current issue of 'The Automobile', Evelyn Ellis' brother Lord Howard de Walden said about Evelyn's 1895 Panhard-
"Kindly bring a little pan to put under it to catch the filthy oil that it drips".
"Certainly" replied Ellis "if you will bring a big pan for your carriage horses when you visit me"
Cheers, Tony.

Yes, that amused me too. Pity you can't put oil drips on the roses though!

I carry an old slipper bed pan in my ORT... Useful when the old girl lets a little go!
