1901 Progress
An absolute masterpiece of motor car preservation is this 1901 four-seater, made by The Progress Cycle Co. of Coventry and registered EU 12.
It is seen here sporting an immaculate black and yellow livery, making good speed down the cobbled town street of Beamish Museum. Whilst, at first glance, it may appear to be a two-seater, there are a further two seats facing and in front of the driver. When occupied this arrangement must have severely restricted to driver's forward view.
The Progress Cycle Co. started making cars in 1898 and went into liquidation in 1903. During its short existence only about 500 cars were made, and very few have survived.
The car was at the museum as part of the October 2023 steam event.
