Clement

Clement by MyBarina.
2 cylinder, 1300 cc BHP

The Governor's car

This vehicle was imported from France in 1902 for the Governor of Victoria. At that time the Governor of Victoria was Sir Reginald Talbot.

The vehicle stayed with the Governor until 1906 when it was purchased by a Tasmanian businessman who drove it around Tasmania until 1909.

The owner upgraded to a Daimier in 1909 and decided to put this vehicle up on blocks. It was rediscovered and restored in 1955.

The next owner held the car for 23 years before selling it to the York Motor Museum in 1979. It is currently on display at the Fremantle Motor Museum.
