Summary
| Description |
Français : Photographie extraite d'un album de photos rassemblées par l'automobiliste anglais, constructeur automobile et aviateur Charles Stewart Rolls (1877-1910). Il montre une voiture de course Panhard & Levassor 6cv Paris-Amsterdam de 1898 importée de France par Rolls, qui fut la première voiture en Grande-Bretagne équipée d'un volant de direction. Rolls était un passionné d'automobile et était bien connu dans le monde de l'automobile après avoir participé à de nombreuses courses de l'époque, telles que le 1000 Mile Trial (1900) et le 15,000 Mile Trial (1907). Il a fondé Rolls-Royce Ltd avec Sir Frederick Henry Royce (1863-1933) en 1906, créant l'une des marques les plus célèbres au monde. Avant de créer sa société, Rolls avait une entreprise prospère qui assemblait et vendait des voitures françaises importées à Londres. Cette voiture de la course Paris-Amsterdam-Paris est équipée des premiers "perfectionnements" introduits par A. C. KREBS après son entrée à la direction des usines Panhard & Levassor : la direction irréversible à volant, les pneumatiques, l'angle de chasse etc.
English: Photograph taken from an album of prints collected by English motorist, motor car manufacturer and aviator Charles Stewart Rolls (1877-1910). It shows a 1898 Panhard & Levassor 6hp Paris-Amsterdam race car imported from France by Rolls, which was the first car in Britain fitted with wheel steering. Rolls was a keen motorist and was well known in the motoring world after competing in many races of the time, such as the 1000 Mile Trial (1900) and the 15,000 Mile Trial (1907). He founded Rolls-Royce Ltd with Sir Frederick Henry Royce (1863-1933) in 1906, creating one of the world's most famous marques. Prior to forming the company Rolls had a successful business assembling and selling imported French cars in London. This car in the Paris-Amsterdam-Paris race is equipped with the first "improvements" introduced by A. C. Krebs after entering the direction of the Panhard & Levassor factories: the irreversible steering wheel, the tires, the castor angle etc . |
