Yes, it's really old , but still in good shape.Knights in the Middle
Ages used it to drive from castle to castle, it's an English model,
made in Sherwood Forest.

It's iron and wood, max. speed is 10 mph , works with steam-engines or
muscle-power (you need one slave for this).

There actually is a Morris Oxford, 1955, with the big fat round arse,
pale green, and personalised registration OXCART, as a daily driver in
Christchurch, NZ, the world's living motoring museum, where they still
drive these antiquities. Hmm, haven't seen a Hindustani Ambassador in
NZ, either. But the idea of having a few slaves for propulsion is oddly
interesting - do you whip them to go faster?
