The story starts in 1897 when, in collaboration with local coachbuilders George Kay and Sons, engineering firm Michael Tod and Son experimented in motor car construction to build it to the specification of a Glasgow engineer.
Local newspaper reports from the era said it was ahead of its time thanks to early Dunlop pneumatic tyres and a capacity to reach 30mph, much faster than the law permitted.
For unknown reasons, only one was built and it never went into full-scale production.
The newly-built vehicle will takeĀ centre stage in the Ā£12million Dunfermline Carnegie Library and Galleries when it opens on May 18.
The apprentices worked in collaboration with with Sandy Tod,Ā a descendant of Michael Tod, on the project.
