Dear Sir/Madam.
My name is William Binions and I live near Bunclody in north Co Wexford. I am currently researching early motoring in Ireland covering the period 1900- 1918. Of particular interest to me is compiling a photographic record of motor cars owned by prominent Irish motorists of this period.
From what I’ve read the Marquis of Waterford in this period was a keen motorist and had the first registered car in Waterford county.
I was wondering is there any photographs of the cars he owned during this period? i have information suggesting that the firm of William Peare of Catherine street. Waterford city supplied the marquis of Waterford a 35 hp gladiator car in 1908.
Any help in tracking down copies(of photos) of these cars would be greatly appreciated,
Your Sincerely,
William Binions
