Vehicle resides in the Musée des Arts et métiers in Paris, where it is dated 1873, not 1875. The historic journee from Le Mans to Paris (500 km (ca. 350 mls) took place in 1875, after over two years of improving the vehicle. While it is not impossible that the picture was taken in Germany, this was a French project. As I don't know the background of the German link, I did not remove the respective categories. In 1879-1880, there were 22 smaller La Mancelle built under A. Bollée licence by Wöhlert in Berlin.--Chief tin cloud (talk) 12:56, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
