1907 REO 16/20HP Twin Cylinder Touring Car Chassis no. 8745213 ci, Side Valve 2-Cylinder EngineSingle CarburetorApprox. 16hp2-Speed Planetary GearboxFront, Semi-Elliptic Leaf Spring, Rear, Full Elliptic Leaf Spring Rear SuspensionExternal-Contracting Rear Wheel Drum Brakes*High-quality older restoration*Long term ownership within the collection*Eligible for the Audrain Veteran Car Tour and HCCA eventsREO CARSBy 1907, only Buick and Ford were selling more cars than REO, largely thanks to the popularity of the make's two-cylinder models. In size, power and price, the REO was a direct competitor to the contemporary two-cylinder Buick. The 1907 REO Model A Touring, with detachable rear tonneau seating, listed for $1,250. A Roadster model cost $250 less.If you were in two minds about purchasing one then (or indeed today!), you might want to consider Olds' bold advertising claims – 'This big, handsome, powerful 5-passenger car does more for its price and operating-cost than any other motor-car ever built', they stated 'The REO beat 32 higher-priced cars on Dead-Horse Hill, Worcester, Mass; 12 on Pasadena-Altadena Hill, California; 13 on Perry and Philips Hills, Algonquin, Ill; 20 on Paddock Hill, Cincinnati; 22 on Gates Mills Hill, Cleveland, Ohio.' 'no roads or weather can stop the REO;' 'it does the same work every day for its owners as it does in public contests; that it has plenty of 'go' and plenty of come-back again; and that you needn't mortgage your home to keep the REO going.' It clearly was a campaign that worked too. These two-cylinder REO models were manufactured between 1905 and 1910. The cars were highly respected for their performance and relative reliability when new. Today, collectors prize restored examples as excellent brass-era machines for club tours.THE MOTORCAR OFFEREDThe newer of the two REOs in this collection, the car was for some time owned by respected early automobile enthusiast and dealer Donald G. Meyer of Lebanon, New Jersey. Mr. Meyer was for a long time an active member of the Horseless Carriage Club and Silver Ghost Association and he was very familiar with the best cars to use for touring, it is not surprising that he elected to own one of these reliable REOs. Finished in a rich burgundy hue to both bodywork and chassis this is accented with lighter red wheels, black wooden fenders and a black top. The car has a plethora of brass accoutrements enhancing its overall appeal, including beautiful round Atwood headlamps with beveled edge glass, brass sidelamps and taillamp. The cowled dash is filled with coil box, speedometer, a New Haven Clock Co. clock, Selden Plate among other fixtures. To assist with touring, the car has been fitted with a ring gear and starter motor and subtle signaling lamps are affixed to the rear fenders, all useful features. Viewed carefully the REO is a nicely bedded in example of what was clearly a high quality restoration at some point. There is some light cracking to the wood fenders, but the paintwork presents well and the exquisite button back upholstery has a luster and shine of use but limited damage or wear. An undeniably good looking car, by definition it would make a perfect entry for events such as those of the Horseless Carriage Club or indeed the newly founded Audrain Veteran Car Tour taking place this weekend and each spring.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1909 Oakland Model 40 Touring Chassis no. 1576 Engine no. 331318.1 cu in, BiBloc Inline 4-Cylinder EngineSingle CarburetorApprox. 40hp 3-Speed Manual Transmission Front, Semi-Elliptic Leaf Spring, Rear, Fully Elliptic Leaf Spring Suspension Rear-Wheel Drum Brakes* Early Pontiac, Michigan built automobile* One of only 4 of the early Oakland cars to survive* Potentially a usable and affordable touring carTHE OAKLAND MODEL 40 For more information on the history of the Oakland Motor Car Company please see lot 521 in this auction. As elaborated there, the model that really got the company off and running was this, the 'Forty'. A proud advertising campaign played strongly on its virtues and the value that it offered, its text succinctly sums up the details, under the heading 'The Oakland is the answer to the man who says 'Show Me'. The pitch reads 'It is a good, old-fashioned American habit, whether buying a cigar or a ten thousand dollar house to look into things a little before spending your money and see that you are paying not one cent more than is necessary. You select an automobile for what it is and for what it will do.' It asked 'Why should you pay from 50 to 100 per cent more for a car that will do no more than the Oakland 'Forty'?' This continues 'It has a forty horsepower motor with cylinders cars in pairs, 112-inch wheel base, seats five people without touching elbows, and in every little appointment is luxurious and easy-riding.' 'Light weight, 2,000 lbs., means low cost of maintenance. Big 34-inch wheels, 4-inch tires, steel I-beam axles – nothing cheap about the Oakland – simplicity of construction and scientific manufacturing system alone can account for the phenomenally low price.' 'This is a car you want to buy, and if you are an agent, it is a car you want to sell' The Oakland Motor Car Co. was absorbed into William Durant's General Motors conglomerate in 1909, providing for the company the financial resources it needed to develop its range of cars. The four-cylinder cars were marketed as 'The Car with a Conscience' and the radiators carried the distinctive oak leaf and acorn emblem.THE MOTORCAR OFFEREDThe Two Generations collection houses two key products from the incubatory period of Oakland, their original two-cylinder car and its successor the four-cylinder Model 40 which was key the foundation of the brand. Of the four surviving Oaklands in the HCCA roster two live in this collection, another prominent exponent of these cars was Robert Roughton of Virginia Beach, from whom this car was acquired in 2017. There was always a penchant for red cars in this collection, as can be seen on these catalogue pages, so this larger Oakland would have appealed strongly to these owners and matches the schemes of the Palmer-Singer, Pierce-Arrow and others in the stable. In this case, the red coachwork is contrasted with black painted beads to the fenders and its black button back leather upholstery. A cursory viewing of the car shows it to be well appointed with a period head and sidelamp set and nice detail features such as its 'Automatic Folding Windshield', which claims to be operational single handedly, another clever piece of design is for the Clutch and Brake to be cast into their respective pedals, surely in those days there were still a few people getting the hang of these arrangements. Clearly an older restoration, and likely needing some recommissioning, this Oakland Forty is nonetheless an honest and relatively affordable Brass Era touring car, much as it was when they sold new.

c.1903 Thomas Model 18 Single Cylinder 8HP Rear Entrance Tonneau Engine no. see text106ci, F-Head Single Cylinder EngineSingle Carburetor8hp3-Speed Manual Transmission with Chain Final DriveSemi-Elliptic Leaf Suspension2-Wheel Brakes* Handsome early pioneering Thomas car* Exquisitely restored* Eligible for Horseless Carriage Club Events and more* Formerly in the long term ownership of Harold CokerTHE THOMAS COMPANYAs recorded elsewhere in this catalogue, the first Thomas automobiles were introduced in 1903; small runabouts described in the catalog as the happy medium between the cheaper and more expensive cars produced after E.R. Thomas consolidated his manufacturing into one division. E.R Thomas continued following the French pattern of design that had served him well with his previous motorcycles, tricycles and quadricycles. The resulting new car looked quite similar to a Renault or De Dion Bouton and shared a similar mechanical design. Since the French had led the motor industry for over a decade, this was certainly a safe and reliable model to copy.The Thomas Model 18 proved a good car and a fairly successful product. Thomas would quickly begin to move towards a more American/German type design with his next motorcars. The limitations of the light French design would prove a bit frail for difficult American conditions.Today, on our properly paved roads, the Model 18 is a delight and a fine American alternative to the ubiquitous French voiturettes. The Thomas Model 18 is well engineered and has the build quality that helped establish the company's excellent reputation. The strong 8hp single drives the car through an efficient 3-speed sliding gear transmission. The 3-speed is a big help in efficiently climbing rolling hills without having to resort to low gear. Equipped with a roomy and comfortable tonneau, the Thomas is an appealing four-up transport.THE MOTORCAR OFFEREDThomas Motor Cars were always of appeal to this collection, the Flyer joining in the 1980s from the Harrah Collection, and when Bonhams offered this example in 2020 it immediately resonated. Joining the stable just days before the pandemic and with the owners both passing during that time, the car would sadly never get to be used properly for events as they had intended. As purchased in 2020, the car was then offered for sale from the estate of another noted Thomas collector, Harold Coker. Mr. Coker was truly passionate about the Thomas products and at one time had amassed examples of almost all the early cars they built. Here is Coker's single cylinder car, which carries with it a somewhat remarkable story which deserves telling. While, the story is not wholly substantiated, and is almost too fanciful to have dreamt up, it does represent the form in which the car was purchased from William S. Abbott in Godfrey, Illinois in the 1990s, by Harold Coker.It is said that in the early days this car was driven from New York to St. Louis for the 1904 World's Fair where it was used as part of a Fair and was known 'The Red Devil'. Within a short period of time, the subsequent first owner who lived in Union, Missouri determined that the Thomas single cylinder motor wasn't sufficient to climb the hill to his home. He complained and returned the car to the E.R. Thomas Company, who it is said no longer had a suitable powerplant and elected to install a more powerful twin cylinder Buick unit of a similar era. Abbott is noted to have bought the car from a John Vauls, who himself had acquired it from a John Davis. Some of the tale was covered in a feature on prewarcar.com in 2016, when a very old photo surfaced of a car, with a boy scout holding a gun and accompanying a dog was published. The car in the photo is clearly a real automobile rather than a prop as it has its license plates inscribed on the sidelights and its body and many details are identical to a Thomas of this era. It is suggested that this may well be the Coker car, in that the tale it had always carried ties into this visual by location. Coker wanted to restore the car to as original a specification as possible, so he removed the Buick engine, made patterns and recast a new single cylinder unit from an original '03 Thomas from fellow enthusiast and friend, Henry Jansen. The former two-cylinder motor was sold in part to fund this and other projects. The remainder of the car was restored to very high standard as can still be evidenced today and has from time to time been displayed at concours events by the Coker family, most recently at the Atlanta Concours d'Elegance in 2018.Finished in the bright red colorway that is so often considered as the norm for the brand and was exactly as depicted in contemporary Thomas marketing materials this is a fine representation of the model. The car has never been submitted for dating with the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain, so its potential eligibility for the London to Brighton has never been explored. It stands today as a very rare survivor of this early chapter of the legendary American around the world company, offering a usable HCCA car.

1909 EMF Model 30 Touring Chassis no. 2163 Engine no. 2443226cu in, Side-Valve Inline 4-Cylinder EngineSingle Carburetor30hp3-Speed Manual Gearbox Front and Rear Leaf Spring Suspension2-Wheel Drum Brakes*One of two examples in the collection*A usable light car, ideal for touring *Potential for HCCA events*Handsome and well-appointed carEMFEstablished in 1908, EMF took its name from its founders' initials - 'E' being Detroit coachbuilder Barney Everitt, 'M' being William Metzger, lately sales manager of Cadillac, and 'F' being Walter Flanders, at one time Henry Ford's production manager. The Northern and Wayne companies were acquired together with their plants and equipment, and EMF production commenced in the second half of 1908 with Wayne designer William E Kelly as chief engineer. EMF chose not to contest the low-price market with Henry Ford, opting instead for a well-finished medium-priced car. The latter was a 30hp four with three-speed sliding-gear rear transaxle built on a sturdy pressed-steel chassis frame. Splits in the partnership and litigation with wagon builder turned automobile manufacturer Studebaker, which had concluded a distribution agreement with EMF, eventually led to a Studebaker take-over in 1910. This resulted in the formation of the Studebaker Corporation, and from then onwards all EMFs were badged as Studebakers.THE MOTORCAR OFFEREDThe earlier of two of examples of EMF cars in this collection, this also dates from the same year, 1909, but appears to have been produced towards the start of the year, being some 4000 cars ahead of the other example. Within that production sequence there is clearly some evolution, by way of explanation, the radiator has the motif of E.M.F. 30 embossed into it, something that would no doubt have been expensive to do. The car is one of the more recent acquisitions by the Two Generations Collection, joining in 2015 having previously been owned by Gil Fitzhugh of Lidditz, Pennsylvania. To judge from its condition it appears to have been the subject of a high quality restoration probably 25-35 years ago. That refurbishment has aged lightly, but not to its detriment and the car has a very inviting appearance all around. This EMF is painted in a rich creamy white scheme, which is offset by a rich butterscotch leather interior and light tan top, it carries a nice set of brightwork which is highly polished and includes EJ Mfg headlamps, scuttle mounted sides and a taillamp. A lesser seen marque and model, this is certainly proof of how appealing these cars are.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Albert Pope was one of the celebrated industrialists of the post-civil war era, having created a highly successful bicycle empire that benefitted from the enormous bike craze of the late 1800s. By the end of the decade, Pope had consolidated over 40 bicycle manufacturers into his American Bicycle Company. The skill set and manufacturing capability of these companies gave Pope a strong basis to enter automobile manufacturing. Having seen that the bicycle craze would be supplanted by Automobiles, Pope began in the 1890s with the Columbia automobile. Primarily an electric car, it gave Pope a toehold in the new market. The Pope automobile empire would eventually include numerous brands including Pope-Tribune, Pope-Toledo, Pope-Robinson, Pope-Waverley and the most enduring, Pope-Hartford. The Pope-Hartford would be the only Pope brand built in the city of the company's headquarters in Hartford, Ct. Begun in 1904 with a single cylinder car, the brand built its first four in 1906 and the fours would be the engine that ultimately built the brands reputation.Pope-Hartford gained a reputation for being a reliable, well made and soundly engineered automobile. With the exception of the unusual-for-the-time overhead valve engine the cars were conservatively designed and that was no doubt a key to their reputation for durability. Pope-Hartford did participate in racing and most famously won the San Francisco 'free for all' in 1909 with a 40hp model. The event celebrated the 300th anniversary of Don Gaspar de Portola's discovery of the bay. The success at this event gave name to the body style Pope is most famous for the 'Portola Roadster'.Today few brass car brands enjoy the status Pope-Hartford does, coveted by brass car enthusiasts for their wonderful touring abilities. They are reliable, powerful, good –looking, and not too big. The late cars have the benefit of a four-speed transmissions and electric starting. Pope-Hartford is one of the only brass era marques that enjoys its own exclusive tour – the Pope Tour.THE MOTORCAR OFFEREDThis sporting Pope was bought a dozen years ago for the collection, having previously resided with Neil Larosa in San Diego, California. In the current ownership it was regularly exercised an enjoyed, more often than not with the top discarded and stripped down to be more of a raceabout than a runabout. Such events are known to have included the Millers at Milwaukee gathering in 2012, where it was certainly a sight to behold. The Runabout is well equipped with a whole host of brass accessories, large Solar headlamps shine out front, sidelamps are mounted to the dash and an acetylene generator sits on the running board, as well as a large brass horn. Tucked away at the rear of the car are modern traffic signals also to aid touring. All of these serve to accent the car's rakish sporting bodywork which is finished in an attractive deep maroon coloring. Contrasting the coachwork are caramel colored leather bucket seats and third seat (with multiple handles to hold onto for that lucky passenger), and a light tan top. The Horseless Carriage Club Roster of 2006/7 lists this as the only Model L known to that club, they are certainly rare and have always been coveted motorcars, this is a great way to enter that fray.

By early 1904, Buick had sold control of his firm to investors and had been moved to Flint, Michigan, where 37 Buicks would be built before the year was out. Entrepreneur William C. Durant gained control of the fledgling car builder in November, 1904. With 'Billy' Durant at the corporate wheel, Buick soon became one of the best-known and best-selling automobiles on the market. A horizontally opposed 2-cylinder engine powered early Buicks. Featuring a patented overhead-valve (OHV) design, it made an impressive 22 horsepower. The engine was mounted under the body, at the center of the chassis (the fuel tank was under the hood). Buick would use this 159-cid engine in some models through 1910.Completing the set of options that Buick offered on their two-cylinder chassis in this period alongside the Model F (Lot 503) and Model G (Lot 534), is this example of their commercially purposed light truck. It is said that initially he offered a 'plumber's body' design, as a nod to the origins of his first fortune being made in porcelain bathtubs!The Buick was acquired for the collection in 2018 and appears to have been a fresh restoration at that point. It is beautifully refinished in dark blue paintwork, with black fenders and a stake bed set up for the body. The brass radiator which sits proudly ahead of the driver and passenger appears to have been renewed as part of its refurbishment. One can easily imagine the dependable Buick twin chugging away at whatever duty it was called to do in period, today it could provide a talking point in any collection or indeed a vehicle to use at Commercial rallies.

1908 Franklin Model G Touring Chassis no. 5052G Engine no. see text143.1 ci, Pushrod Overhead Valve Inline 4-Cylinder Air-cooled Engine (likely 1909/10) Single CarburetorApproximately 22hp3-Speed Manual TransmissionFully Elliptic Leaf Suspension2-Wheel Rear Drum and Transmission Brake*Early 'barrel nose' Franklin touring car *A way to experience Franklin's alterative approach to the automobile *Formerly in long term California ownershipsTHE FRANKLIN MODEL GFor the early part of the Franklin story please refer to Lot 512. After its debut with a transversely mounted four-cylinder in 1902, 1905 would prove to be a transitional year as the Franklin's engine moved up front under the barrel-shaped hood with a front-mounted fan to supply cooling air to the finned individual cylinders. Wilkinson was a fervent believer in the virtues of light weight and simplicity, a belief reflected in his decision to reject the added components and complexity of water cooling. He kept experimenting and adding features as soon as they demonstrated their practicality. Automatic spark advance was added in 1907, pressure feed lubrication in 1912, aluminum pistons in 1915, aluminum connecting rods in 1922.At first glance this early Franklin looks like a conventional touring car of the day. Even its big round grille wasn't that out of place in 1910. Delaunay-Bellevilles sported similar grilles. Look a little closer, though, and some unusual things begin to become apparent. The Franklin had full-elliptical springs, for instance, which most marques had abandoned in favor of semi-elliptical and 3/4 elliptical springing that provided more accurate wheel and axle location. The Franklin's laminated wood frame was worthy of notice, too, at a time when such wood frames as survived were pretty generally at least steel 'armored'.That was, however, about all that was apparent from outside. It was unusual, and maybe even a little archaic in the fast-moving automobile industry in the final year of the century's first decade. The big difference was that Franklin was doing all these things by design and with the intent of perfectly sound engineering principles. It would keep them, more or less, for the rest of its life and in the process build up a loyal following of customers who appreciated its determinably idiosyncratic insistence upon doing things Franklin's way.More than a hundred years later no one has come up with a convincing argument why Franklin was wrong, either. The big round grille was Franklin's way of swallowing the volumes of air needed to satisfy its overhead valve four-cylinder engine's direct air cooling. 'Direct' in the sense that all automobile engines are air cooled (unless they're suddenly dunked in a river or pond) using water or some other liquid concoction coolant as an intermediary.The full-elliptical springs gave a soft, comfortable ride and were reputed to be easy on tires. The wood frame has been compared with a good tennis racquet or old time wooden skis which flex and absorb shocks and irregularities before they get to the human's frame. Franklin dealers would perversely jack up opposite corners of their cars, then demonstrate how the doors still opened and closed smoothly. Try that on a Buick or Ford.The Model G was introduced in 1906 with a 12hp engine and 88' wheelbase. The model grew in following years, 12hp on 90' wheelbase in 1907, 16hp on 90' in 1908, and 18hp on 91 1/2' in 1909 and 1910 with 143 cubic inches displacement from a 3 3/8' bore and 4' stroke. The compact chassis dimensions are closely adapted to the attractive close-coupled four-place touring car coachwork which is so consistent with the philosophy of John Wilkinson. The engine drives through a 3-speed transmission and shaft drive with contracting band rear wheel brakes and a separate band brake on the driveshaft.THE MOTORCAR OFFEREDThe Model G we offer here dates from the 1908 season. There is nothing on file that charts its provenance, however consultation with respected marque authority Mark Chaplin has confirmed that while not owned by members of the Franklin fraternity its ownership over the last three decades can be traced back to a H. Maxwell of California from at least as far back as 1989 and up to 2015, and it appears to have been briefly owned by noted collector Jim Cooley of San Diego prior to its acquisition by the father and son Two Generations collection. Mr. Chaplin also noted that the 1908 engines were the Achilles heel of that year's production and it was quite common for them to have been replaced with slightly later units, often by the factory. Distinctive features of the successors were concentric valve engines as well as magneto ignition, which its precisely what can be found in this car. It is most likely that the power unit dates from 1909 or 1910, although a number was not found to be visible to substantiate this. On inspection, the Franklin while clearly complete and an honest entity, it is apparent that the car has been refurbished in a basic manner for aesthetic presentation, rather than on the technical side. The paintwork in a bottle green scheme appears to be relatively fresh as does the button back interior trim work. All in all this is an interesting example of its breed and a perfect foil to its predecessor in the collection to demonstrate how the Franklin production developed. With mechanical refreshing, it could provide its next owner with a purposeful way to experience this unique automobile brand.

1909 EMF Model 30 Touring Chassis no. 6498226ci, Side-Valve Inline 4-Cylinder EngineSingle Carburetor30hp3-Speed Manual Gearbox Front and Rear Leaf Spring Suspension2-Wheel Drum Brakes*Pre-cursor to the Studebaker*Long term ownership in this collection*Light car, ideal for touring *HCCA eligibilityEMF Established in 1908, EMF took its name from its founders' initials - 'E' being Detroit coachbuilder Barney Everitt, 'M' being William Metzger, lately sales manager of Cadillac, and 'F' being Walter Flanders, at one time Henry Ford's production manager. The Northern and Wayne companies were acquired together with their plants and equipment, and EMF production commenced in the second half of 1908 with Wayne designer William E Kelly as chief engineer. EMF chose not to contest the low-price market with Henry Ford, opting instead for a well-finished medium-priced car. The latter was a 30hp four with three-speed sliding-gear rear transaxle built on a sturdy pressed-steel chassis frame. Splits in the partnership and litigation with wagon builder turned automobile manufacturer Studebaker, which had concluded a distribution agreement with EMF, eventually led to a Studebaker take-over in 1910. This resulted in the formation of the Studebaker Corporation, and from then onwards all EMFs were badged as Studebakers.THE MOTORCAR OFFEREDThe Two Generations Collection frequently housed two examples of a particular marque and or model, here this is the second of two offered today, this time their chassis numbers confirming them to have built within the same year, but most likely some way apart in their production, being 4,000 plus cars different numerically. The car arrived in this collection in approximately 2000, having been advertised through the HCCA by Edward Leichliter who it is understood had owned the car since 1970. It was apparently Mr. Leichliter's belief that the car was documented back to the immediate post war period and that it has spent most of its life in central New Jersey. Finished in Royal Blue paintwork has the appearance of a well patinated car, quite possibly retaining its original interior in places, with a much older refreshment of the body cosmetics. Not known to have been run since joining the collection, it will re-commissioning before use. Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1911 Ford Model T 'Frontenac' Roadster Chassis no. 68304 Engine no. 14499152 – see text177ci Inline 4-Cylinder Engine with Frontenac Overhead Valve ConversionApproximately 35bhp at 2,200rpm2-Speed Planetary Gear Transmission With 2-Speed Rear AxleTransverse Leaf Springs and Solid Axles Front and Rear Rear-Wheel Drum Brakes*The ultimate in 'sleeper' Model Ts *70mph plus performance*2 Speed Rear Axle and desirable wire wheelsTHE MOTORCAR OFFEREDWith the emergence of the Model T and Henry Ford's insistence on a quality stock product and limited availability of options for buyers, in one fell swoop he created a completely new industry of aftermarket components for his cars, not too dissimilar from smartphone accessories today. Beautifully made though his wooden wheels were, (anyone who has seen the videos of the laborers building them can't to be hypnotized by the process), there were plenty of people who preferred more sporting wire wheels, for those a whole host of options became available, such as the Buffalo made ones on this car. His transverse leaf spring suspension may have been the most universal answer to the rugged American roads of the time, but not everyone wants the sensation of floating like a small boat on the road! So there were numerous alternative bolt on extras to stiffen up the ride. And of course, there was only so much reach that you can get out of a car with two speeds, and there the answer was to double up your options at the rear end, Ruckstell and Columbia being the most prolific producers of this option. But those were the details, for those would wanted to go that extra mile, or indeed cover that mile faster than anyone else in a 'Tin Lizzie' there were also a host of performance improvements. This brilliant performance T takes the model to the more extreme levels of its development, a true 'sleeper' from 10 paces it may look like a standard roadster, in reality it is anything but. The Ford is fitted with a Frontenac overhead valve engine conversion, which increases engine performance to nearly twice the standard output, that is then relayed to the road through a two speed rear axle also, if one bears in mind that the bodywork remains of exceptionally light nature to begin with, the extra horsepower and increased gearing give a net result that the car can bowl along at 70mph! Unused in the last couple of years, a good check over is advised, but if you relish the idea of 'double takes' wherever you go on tours, this potent T might be right up your alley.
