Actually, the speeding ticket was not for going 29 km/h. There were no speed limits back then and there were no handy means to measure or enforce speeds. However, the local police officer found that the manner in which the first owner was going through town violated the traditional Sunday Peace in Germany. The police officer wrote literally this: "You are herewith inflicted with a penalty of 3 Reichsmark because on yesterday's Sunday you drove through the town of Denzlingen in your Benz motor-horse at such a speed that the window curtains of a pub were fluttering."

It's something it is but odds are it was abandoned for a very long time (not in use) or it's had significant work done to it just hidden. They are extremely basic like most of the old older vehicles. Folks didn't drive around much in those days (commonly used for special events) and even folks who had like the old Model T's from 1907? Averaged about 3-5k miles before worn out which was significant for it's time. Even if it was in use the whole time it averages out to less than a mile per month which would also mean it's at the end of life. Old vehicles like these are special but there is no way this remained functional that whole time. This was most likely a legendary barn find by one of the previous family owners children/great grand children. Not trying or wanting to downplay the significance but it's most likely one of those vehicles which was made from 20-30 separate vehicles for repairs just like the 1920's vehicles folks build buying it one part of a time.

Nobody is arguing that one horsepower is the maximum power a horse can produce for a short time, so I am not sure what your argument has to do with anything.

[@doigt6590]

This car is being regularly looked after by a mechanic though. This is a case of the Ship of Theseus. Technically, with the right maintenance, any car can last as long as that one. But the expenses required to keep it working are great after the car has passed its prime, especially for old cars. In fact, that's makes some old cars like this one noteworthy, that's why there aren't that many cars from 1960s and older still around; cars do only last around 10 years usually. In more dry climates, cars last much longer usually, but they all eventually break down without mechanic's attentive care. Big respect to those men keeping the past alive!

[@Cheezymuffin.]

@@doigt6590 as a mechanical engineering student I do have to add the more modern consept of calculated redundancy. Basically, in a lot of applications, it is not necessary to make them run for a long time. It is simply cheaper to make a part that will only last about the expected lifetime of the mechanism. This is not exeption for cars. Ironically enough, engineers are only able to be fairly accurate with this in modern times, using computer programs to simulate failing conditions and production methods. This means that in olden times, mechanisms where often over engineered for their function. This is also why older stuff seems more rigid and though. Because it is. But why make it rigid and though, when it will generaly only be used for a certain time, or a different part in the mechanism will fail long before the other parts? It's simply unnecessary. Now combine this with other facts like older mechanisms being generaly bulkier and simpler, and you get very though machines. Edit: oh and in the past people more often used to fix their own stuf (because it was simpler) but modern mechanisms from cars to coffee machines have become too complicated for the average consumer to fix. Hence instead of fixing something, modern consumers more often just buy a new product.
