Ok, I'll enter the fray.

Would it be a Scripps-Booth Bi Autogo????



Only came in red apparently.

Looks right, but my god, what a bizarre vehicle. Where's the sixth wheel? No wait, two wheeled motorcycle with four training wheels?

All those tubes are the radiator apparently.

eisenwurst got it! Someone reads the clues! An 8 cylinder hybrid: 'twixt a car and a motorcycle the training wheels were retractable!

Ok, my go.

Who is this distinguished Gent???

A Celebrity in his day - late 1850s ( some of us oldies Subsim members may have gone to school with him - weak joke. )

Closely associated with the young colony of Sydney Australia.

By a strange twist of fate, he repaid his "karmic debt" some years later in a strikingly similar fashion to what he's famous for.

More hints to come.

Your post pic looks a lot like the "progressive' types currently driving my city into the ground

Wrong answer.

Ah, he's a advertising character for Progressive (Oops Geico) Insurance from several years ago. "So easy a caveman can do it".

Weird though: I've built my own armor for a college project and my Civil War Parker-Hale .577 Enfield rifle is the same... just not the Snyder-breech conversion Ned carried, now on display at the Victoria Museum with his homemade plowboard armor- capable of stopping the Martini-Henry round to the visor! My present-day triple-threat Safariland kevlar with shock-plate could'nt do that!!
