Some cars leave a paper trail; the Benz type Velociped vis-à-vis left a name, a year — 1898 — and a place in Benz & Cie.'s list. What follows is what can be said with a source behind it.
In context
The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the Panhard & Levassor Type A1/A2 landaulet, the Panhard & Levassor M2F Break CnAM 20520, the Porsche P1. Nearby in the Benz & Cie. catalogue sit the Benz 10/18 PS and the Benz 10/20 PS.
