Who is the little girl?
Tom Cook, chairman of the UK based De Dion Bouton club, sends a picture of another brand he likes. He owns a fine 1910 Renault BZ (so he is probably a member of the Renault Freres as well). Tom found an old picture of that one shot in Australia, where the Renault was a well known car in Adelaide. Originally the car most probably was shipped to Sydney to be used by the owner of a larger estate.
Tom is very keen to know who is the girl in the back of the car. We don't know for sure of course, but would not be surprised if the young lady in the picture is of Tom's age by now so we're not sure if his wife should know about all this.
It's a long shot trying to find out things like this, but we have seen funnier things come to light. So don't be shy if you have a history question connected with your car. Send in one or a few photos plus the basic facts of your car plus what you want to know.

I think Bill is right, the photo must be fairly recent, the posts and netting round the tennis court (?) behind look very much post WW2. He points out the tyre wear, but the hood looks as tho' it has seen a few years go by!

The car is far from new, maybe the late 1920s going by tyre wear, the right front is a Melbourne produced Barnette Glass Boomerang tread, the other front is a Melbourne made Dunlop probably 815 X 105,the spare is worn out. The fine condition of the car indicates it was probably for sale or may even have been on one of the first Veteran Rally in the 1950s when new tyres were not available here. The girl is thus probably alive still. The Roi des Belges body is probably Australian and basically were finished by 1912 and may be a bit earlier.
