The Narrokar / W H Robinson
Many English lanes were designed only to accommodate the solitary horseman and most large modern cars are liable to get stuck in them (very humiliating for the driver) The Narrokar is ideal for such adventurous excursions, being narrow of width.

Adventurous Driving Excursion File Heath Humor Lane Lanes Narrow Robinson Thin Will I Am
EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the essence of a bygone era in English countryside motoring. Entitled "The Narrokar, " it showcases W. H. Robinson's ingenious solution to the challenge faced by many drivers navigating narrow lanes designed solely for horsemen. In this whimsical image, we see a gentleman named Will I Am confidently driving his car along a picturesque country lane on the heath. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its depiction of an adventurous excursion made possible by Robinson's invention – The Narrokar. With its slender width, The Narrokar proves ideal for traversing these thin and winding roads that were not originally intended for modern vehicles. Its design prevents embarrassing situations where larger cars might become stuck, causing humiliation to their drivers. As we delve into history through this charming file from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are reminded of the humor and ingenuity that have always accompanied transportation advancements. This single-lane marvel offers us a glimpse into the challenges faced by early motorists while also showcasing their determination to explore new horizons.
