Your new SEAT 131 will be so shambolically unreliable you'll need horses to get to work on.

Bertha Benz:

On the morning of August 5, 1888, Bertha Benz and her two oldest sons quietly left their house and unknowingly changed the world forever.

While Bertha’s husband Carl lay asleep, she left a note on the kitchen table informing him that they were leaving to visit her mother in Pforzheim, Germany, some 60 miles away.

The trio then entered Carl’s workshop and pushed one of his Benz Patent - Motorwagens down the road so that Carl would not be awakened when Bertha brought its single-cylinder engine to life, embarking on what would be the first long-distance journey ever taken by automobile.
