dsl ◊ 2012-04-19 00:36	Prototype for Aston Martin Cygnet?
skywatcher68 ◊ 2012-04-19 00:42	That would be the car to the rear, which didn't get any screen time.

Skid ◊ 2012-07-16 15:43	According to the New Illustrated Encyclopedia of Automobiles, Brookes were built in England between 1900 and 1913, as a subsidiary of J.W. Brooke & Co. of Lowestoft, who apparently specialized in early motor boats. This particular car, built for a resident in Calcutta, was pictured in the book, where it was said the eyes lit up as headlights and the exhaust could be rerouted through a whistle in the beak. I was never able to find any information about this car after reading about it in the book, so it's nice to see that it apparently still exists.

johnfromstaffs ◊ 2020-04-29 10:11	Two references in my possession. 1) G N Georgano. “The Autocar listed the Sixes until 1910 and some other lists carried the name on until 1913, but the company was mainly concerned with marine engines by this time.” 2) Nick Baldwin. “The occasional vehicle was produced up to 1913, including in 1910 a curious swan shaped vehicle that hissed. Brooke certainly built the engine for this, and may have been responsible for the entire car.” -- Last edit: 2020-04-29 10:15:02
