That young lady's an excellent driver too - anticipating the next turn well in advance. Superb!
I see that was the "dual steering" Triumph prototype - Invented for fathers taking their teenagers out on their first driving lesson.

Or maybe it's the prototype for the Kleinschnittger (the little car in the Cadillac Escalade commercial).....looks sorta the same (yes, the Kleinschnittger is a "real" car).

Thanks David,
Yes, at three her contemporaries consider her to be at least as good as Schumacher (Ralf not Michael).
She’s a lot of fun as my co-pilot/navigator in my 78B. But truth be told she’s real pain in the rear as a backseat driver. Pointing out both mine and her mother’s short comings as we’re driving down the road.
"Daddy you can go now the light is green. Or daddy slow down or I’ll tell mommy!"
