The world's first long-distance car journey – BBC REEL
In 1888, Bertha Benz, wife of automotive inventor Karl Benz, set off on a groundbreaking trip. A pioneer and investor in her own right, Bertha took the world's first combustion engine-powered car on the world's first long-distance car journey.
The 100km journey was full of inventive problem-solving. Bertha made numerous stops to source fuel, fix the carburettor and the brakes. Her trip became a vital road test of the car's good points as well as highlighting teething issues.
