1896 cross-over !

We must admit that we are not really up to date with modern time car mags. Too much boring plastic and other software to keep us awake. But when going for a haircut we not only read Playboy but also the latest car weekly. That's how we learned the relative new car buzz word. The concept 'crossover' of course is far from new and about as old as the car itself. The motorcycle-car cross over for instance. Like the recently refound very original 1896 Léon Bollée offered by Yesterdays Antique Motorcycles. The 109 year old three seater parallels the McLaren F1 2+1 seating arrangement, with the small difference that the McLaren gave the driver a poleposition, whereas Léon Bollée gave it to the passengers. Somebody who will be happy to discuss the pro's and con's of that set-up is Andrew Watt ( Magneto Repairs ) who by sheer luck survived a Victorian freak motor accident...
