Joris on his website asks about high wheel cars. In Victoria there is an early Peugeot high wheeler, pre 1900, with wheels aprox 1.8 meters diameter. It is in very origional drivable condition. Does anyone have further information on this car?
Last year there was a Schat high wheeler sold at auction in Melbourne.

Further to the Rally, it was produced in Colombes, Siene, between 1921-1933. It started as a 2 cylinder made out Harley Davidson parts. 1922 saw a 4 cylinder water cooled machine, using proprietry engines. 1927 there were 4 models, the most powerful using a supercharged twin overhead camshaft motor, also offered an 1100cc straight 8.
1931 back to twin OHC salmson engine. (From The Complete Encyclopedia of Motorcars by Georgano )
