Great restoration. I did note in the video that the De Dion-Bouton didn't seem to have self-centering steering - must have been exhausting to drive for any length of time.

The Dutch subtitles in the video when the owner was speaking French had a "Monty Python" effect on this English speaker.

Regards,

Charlie
