Silverton's First Car ?.

I see from the Express and Echo that pupils at Silverton Primary School are researching who had Silverton's first car. My understanding was that it was the local GP, Dr Jones the early part of the twentieth century but there could be other candidates. A man named Perkins had a vehicle that was used as a taxi in the 1920s but I dont know when either he, or the doctor first aquired their cars. Hopefully, the primary school pupils may find out something more definate.
