The first motor car in Antarctica - 1908

These were the pioneer days of the motor car. Shackleton was given a
car specially built for the expedition by the Arrol-Johnston company of
Paisley, Scotland. The 4 cylinder, 15 horsepower air cooled car. came
from the intervention of William Beardmore a major sponsor of the expedition.
