Driving the oldest street-legal car in Germany
A Benz Victoria from 1894 is the oldest street-legal car in Germany. It is usually on display in a transportation museum in Einbeck, Lower Saxony and taken out on the road only on rare occasions. Even then, it is only allowed to be driven during daylight and under clear weather conditions because it has no electrical system, hence it is missing rear lights and indicator lights. Changes of direction have to be indicated using a signalling handle, and driving on the main road is uncomfortable as you can feel that the car is clearly at its limits when going the top speed of 29 kph (18 mph). Fueling up is only possible at pharmacies because the car doen’t run on ordinary fuel but rather on petroleum ether.
