Peugeot Quadrilette

[Erich]

I think it would be incorrect to assume that at the very least, whatever Stanley's knowledge of the Peugeot might have been, Sir Herbert would have known about the car. As an engineer, he would have exposed himself to engineering ideas of the day, especially in the automotive world and either used and modified, or discarded ideas he saw as lacking or unnecessary. That's what fascinates me about that period of automobile design. Engineers were trying different ideas. That the Seven got so much right, at such an early time, is remarkable. It had four wheel brakes. Unlike the Model T, it had a "real" gearbox. Just my two pence worth.
