I thanked that post in case our friend m17 doesn't see it. I wouldn't know about it either without the fabulous catalogue of photos during construction.

You probably would have just bypassed it.

I noticed in the small print that it was only free if your car was less than 16hp (Even the Model T was more powerful than that)
Was that actually real or a spoof?

It’s real. But it refers to tax horsepower, not actual engine output.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_horsepower

The tax horsepower rating was computed not from actual engine power but by a mathematical formula based on cylinder dimensions. At the beginning of the twentieth century, tax power was reasonably close to real power; as the internal combustion engine developed, real power became larger than nominal taxable power by a factor of ten or more.
