The Puckridge is a cyclecar built in 1904 in Port Lincoln, South Australia by bicycle maker F. B. Puckridge.[1] Puckridge used as the basis for his vehicle a three-wheeler owned by his neighbour, a Dr Kinmont. Kinmont had been injured when the three-wheeler toppled over on a bend and wanted a more stable vehicle. Puckridge took the three-wheeler apart and built a four-wheel vehicle, using the original 2.75 hp single cylinder De Dion engine. He added a two-speed belt-drive transmission, tiller steering, gas lighting, and fan cooling. An unusual feature was the starter system, which involved pulling a chain through a hole in the floorboards to rotate the engine.[2] References1. ^Cycle Car, National Library of Australia (retrieved 1 February 2012) 2. ^Davis, Pedr & Tony, Aussie Cars, Marque Publishing, Sydney, Australia, 1987, {{ISBN|0-947079-01-7}} External links{{auto-stub}} 5 : Cars introduced in 1904|Brass Era vehicles|Cyclecars|Motor vehicle manufacturers of Australia|Veteran vehicles |
