The armoured bicicle looks like an Eurka invention.

The name of the car, there, "Sizaire-Berwick Wind Wagon"
doesn't it  look like there is some kind of anagram hiding in there containing the word "Bizarre". Or perhaps somthing along the line of: "A Cab Weirdie Grin Wiz Wonks"

I second that, must have one of those for my Vic London. :) I think its the bowler hat  that endears me to it. As mentioned that is straight from the Pax Limpopo range anyone know Mr Eureka enough to propose he makes one?

I do like the tankettes from that page. They're so cute, so between-the-wars.
