The oldest entry so far for Pre-War Prescott 2018 is this 1903 London to Brighton veteran Napoleon, captured here by the camera of Dave Gothard and conducted by owner Julian Clarke. The machine was aided up the hill by its gusty 6 h.p. and the power of prayer! Once again, Julian has booked four climbs. The Napoleon is a French Lacoste et Battmann of Levallois , Seine , 6 h.p. single-cylinder car sold in the UK under the Napoleon name by Bernard Neave of Richmond Surrey only in 1903. The Lacoste et Battmann cars were licensed to other UK companies as Gamage and Speedwell and Jackson. De Dion 6 h.p. or Aster 7 h.p. engines were used. The Napoleon will be joined by a fascinating lineup of other Centenarian cars as we celebrate the twin Centenaries of the Armistice and the founding of the Royal Air Force.
