Highland (automobile)

The Highland was one of the first types of automobiles to be offered for sale in Australia.

Charles Highland was a Sydney bicycle dealer who imported a Daimler petrol engine in 1894 and constructed a primitive motorised tricycle.

Two years later Highland and his son Charles Jnr built a four-wheeled, two-seater vehicle using bicycle components and a De Dion-Bouton engine.

Replicas of this car were offered for sale in 1897 but it is not known how many were built or sold.
