It was designed over a periode of five years by Daniel Albone, patented in 1902 and the first one was built in 1903. About 1000 machines were made by the Ivel Agricultural Motors Limited over a period of 14 years.

At least seven are now known to exist; two in Australia, one each in New Zealand, Sweden, and Zimbabwe, plus two in England. The science museum in Kensington has an Ivel.... Number 131 which left the works in 1903 was used as a demonstration machine until sold to Mr Tinniswood at Rosebank farm, Dalston, Northumberland in 1905. (This was)...professionally rebuilt to a high standard in 1994. On Saturday 21st June 2003 the Ivel returned to Biggleswade... Then on Sunday 22nd June 2003 ...the Ivel was driven 100 miles to the Royal Show at Stoneleigh stopping each day at various locations en route including Old Warden Park, Silsoe Agricultural Research Centre, Woburn Abbey, Silverstone Race Circuit, Upper Boddington and Lemington Spa. After a journey without incident, it arrived at the Royal Show on Sunday 29th June when John Moffitt received a hero’s welcome. During the week the Ivel was the subject of a main ring presentation. The Ivel (was) booked for shows right up to 23rd November at Skipton near Leeds. source: http://www.biggleswadehistory.org.uk/Dan%20Albone.htm The vehicle details (Ivel) AO 385 are: Date of Liability 01 06 2008 Date of First Registration 01 09 1984 Year of Manufacture 1903 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 3164CC CO2 Emissions Not Available Fuel Type Petrol Export Marker Not Applicable Vehicle Status Licence Not Due Vehicle Colour GREY -- Last edit: 2008-01-28 15:49:06
