Daimler 1885 Grandfather clock engine


A  key step on the way to the four-wheeled automobile.                                                                            Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach invented this engine in 1885. This model is 1:3 replica of the original , works with gasoline and only 32 cm in height.Casting kit is from Classic Motors - Heinz Kornmüller from Austria. It took 5 months to finish the engine as there are plenty of brass parts to be built. Daimler used this engine on the world's first motorbike they invented (picture attached.)
