1908 Mors Grand Prix

Emile Mors was fascinated by motor racing and thought that it was the perfect opportunity to make money. By 1905 he had sold several race cars to wealthy 'gentleman drivers' of the day, among them Charles Stewart Rolls and William K. Vanderbilt Jr. In 1908, he entered this car and two others in the French Grand Prix at Dieppe. Sadly, the cars were not sufficiently tested. One car was a non-starter; this car, driven by the 'Red Devil' Camille Jenatzy, finished nearly an hour and a half behind the winning Mercedes; and the third Mors was even further behind! That race was Mors' last major effort in competition, and by the mid-1920s, the Mors Company was closed.

This Mors Grand Prix Car has a 12.5-liter, 4-cylinder inline engine with pushrod overhead valves developing 100 horsepower.
