Car Crash - Stourbridge
I was driving round the ring road early morning before going paintballing when I noticed a car crashed, there was nobody about so I decided it best to check that nobody was inside. Fortunately there wasn't.

Alfonso XIII (Type 15T)
4 cylinder 3620cd, T-Head valve arrangement
64 BHP at 2300 rpm.
The sports car of Kings
Hispano-Suiza means literally "Spanish-Swiss" and the name derives from the fact that the designer of the car, Mac Birkigt, was Swiss and the original company was located in Barcelona, Spain, in 1900.
In 1909 King Alfonso XIII of Spain presented a cup for a light car race to be held near Barcelona. In 1910, Hispano-Suiza's 2655cc 4 cylinder cars achieved 1st and 3rd in the Coupe de L'Auto race, beating the new Vee 2 cylinder Lion-Peugeots, becoming the first multi-cylinder car to win this prestigious race. From this successful racer was developed the 3620 cc type 15-T with increased power for customers accustomed to much larger engines, but know much more widely as the Alfonso XIII, after the King who had prompted its development.
It is this model, which many consider to be the first "sports car", which was designed for the sporting driver.
Only 20 complete Algonsos are believed to exist and eight are in Australia. Unfortunately little of the model's early history can be recorded because the factory records were destroyed during the second World War. Production began in 1911 and ceased in 1914.
This car, along with three others, was reported to have been imported for the Melbourne Fire Brigade to "permit their fire cheifs to reache the scene of a fire quickly to report back". Only two were apparently ever put into service. A third was reputed to have been stored until after World War I and was supposedly sold to Mr H. Williams, an executive of Dunlop Rubber Co. This is that car.
This car and many more are on display at the Fremantle Motor Museum.

2 cylinder, 1300 cc BHP
The Governor's car
This vehicle was imported from France in 1902 for the Governor of Victoria. At that time the Governor of Victoria was Sir Reginald Talbot.
The vehicle stayed with the Governor until 1906 when it was purchased by a Tasmanian businessman who drove it around Tasmania until 1909.
The owner upgraded to a Daimier in 1909 and decided to put this vehicle up on blocks. It was rediscovered and restored in 1955.
The next owner held the car for 23 years before selling it to the York Motor Museum in 1979. It is currently on display at the Fremantle Motor Museum.
