The first automobile, patented by Karl Benz in 1886 was widely considered to be the birth of the modern automobile and undoubtedly changed the way we moved about thereafter.

By 1888, Benz's company were producing 500 cars per year.

It had a max speed of 10mph, it was powered by a single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that produced 0.75 horsepower and as you can see in the photo, it was a 3 wheeler.

A replica was featured in the Netflix hit movie, Enola Holmes.

Since then, the motor industry has developed at pace, taking into consideration safety, modern improvements, driveability, demographics of drivers, and the impact on the environment.

We think the industry will continue to innovate and introduce more advanced technology, however, the big microchip shortage following Covid-19 caused a huge delay in car manufacturing. As well as this, it can be impossible for owners to carry out their own maintenance in some of the more modern vehicles.

With this in mind, there may be a small space in the market for a vehicle that is more about getting from A to B than it is about getting to the latest smartphone.
