Intriguing 1922 photo of a Daimler powered pram, taken in 1922. It's from a recent Facebook entry. Maybe Daimler manufactured industrial engines during WW1 and this is one of them. Any thoughts on this?

So this is the picture?
Go on, 'fess up, it's you in the pram with Doris, your Nanny.

OK, mystery over. After an extensive and thorough investigation (=a couple of minutes on Wikipedia) it turns out it’s not the Daimler logo, it’s “Dunkley”. It fooled me completely. Apologies.

Took me a minute or two to find the name. The name may be different but it looks as though they nicked the stylised D from Daimler!

Totally politically incorrect picture: see racism, feminism, pollution.
I love it!

If it's a two-stroke engine, then the blue smoke has been air-brushed out.

No smoke as she is coasting down a hill
