How about a 1905 Otto/Cottereaux 3-C 'U.L.TwinCam' Special ?

Now this is for the ones between us who want realy different stuff. A French friend recently stumbled over this early 'Special' or just plain concoction if you want(click for larger image). You probably will not find anything like it the next 1905 years we think. The Otto chassis (don't mix up with the German or US Otto's !) comes with gearbox (click) and differential. Note the intricate rear suspension with half elliptic leafsprings attached to the chassis end plus full elliptic leafs. 'Piece de résistance'(free translated: 'conversation piece') of course is the 3 cylinder Cottereau (click), a 1904 nouveauté. It has Twin Under Lying Cams. Wow !, would I love to hear that baby roar up Prescott Hill! Now our French friend is considering to sell the project, but don't get angry if he doesn't answer your e-mail immediately. He is out for a few days. We will be his E-mail box (click) in the meantime. Did you by the way check the other chunks of metal that came in during Engine Weekend(PreWarParts.com)?
