Description: | Daimler, Kimberley model, 4.1/2 hp motor car, 1901, is an example of the first type of light car made by the Daimler Motor Company of Coventry to meet the competition of the European "voiturettes" produced by de Dion-Bouton, Renault and Peugeot. It is powered by a two-cylinder, water-cooled engine of 1240cc capacity. A single flat belt takes the drive from a pulley on the engine crankshaft to a countershaft which is provided with three spur gears of different diameters, any one of which may be put into mesh with its fellow on the live rear axle.
