[edit]DescriptionFinney Isles & Company Limited Auto-Carrier, Brisbane.jpg |
Creator: Unidentified Location: Brisbane, Queensland Australia Description: (English) Worker from Finney Isles & Co. Ltd. driving an Auto-Carrier motor tricycle. Finney's, a large department store in Queen Street, Brisbane, was later taken over by David Jones. The Auto-Carrier, produced from 1904, was popular with delivery boys, being robust and simple to drive. It was powered by a 648/631 cc. (dependent on source) single cylinder, air cooled engine. The Auto-Carrier was the start of a long history for the English manufacturer, Autocars and Accessories, Ltd., which went on to produce one of the fastest sports cars of the 1960s. About 1910 an odd looking passenger version of the Auto-Carrier was introduced, called the AC (from Auto-Carrier) Sociable. The Auto-Carrier's delivery box was replaced with a buggy-like body where the driver and passenger sat side by side. From 1913 the company produced more conventional cars and in 1922 changed it's name to AC Cars Limited and introduced an inline six-cylinder engine with an overhead camshaft. This engine powered increasingly fast AC sports cars until 1963. In 1962 American racing driver Carroll Shelby fitted a Ford V8 engine into a modified AC Ace sports car, to produce the blisteringly fast AC/Shelby Cobra. With engines up to 7 litres and 500 horsepower, the light two seater Cobra could match the performance of any sports car of the time and and once again an AC was the 'dream vehicle' for many delivery boys. Beschreibung: (Deutsch) Ein früher Auto-Carrier, wie er je nach Quelle ab 1904/1907 in England als unterhaltsgünstiger Dreiradlieferwagen gebaut wurde. Hersteller: bis 1907 Autocars and Accessories, Limited in West Norwood im Süden Londons, bis 1911 Auto-Carriers Limited ebendort, bis 1916 Auto-Carriers (1911) Limited in Thames Ditton. Gebläsegekühlter Einzylinder-Viertaktmotor mit 648/631 Kubikzentimeter Hubraum (je nach Quelle) aus eigener Fertigung. Spätestens ab 1910 auch als Personenwagenvariante (Cyclecar) unter der Bezeichnung AC Sociable. Das Herstellerunternehmen benannte sich 1922 in AC Cars Limited um und stellte später legendäre Sportwagen wie den AC Ace (ab 1953) und in Kooperation mit dem US-amerikanischen Rennfahrer Carroll Shelby und der Ford Motor Company die AC/Shelby Cobra (ab 1962) her. Die Fotografie zeigt einen Auto-Carrier des ehemaligen Unternehmens Finney Isles & Company Limited, eines großen Einzelhandelskaufhauses in Brisbane, Australien, aufgenommen laut der Staatsbibliothek von Queensland um 1905 in Brisbane, Australien.
