The car of photography poses for the facade of the Museum of Electricity in Barranco, is a Wanderer, 1915. This car, made in Germany came to Peru in the second decade of last century, brought by his owner, Mr. Abel (?) Martinelli, and taken to Cusco, where certainly attracted the attention of people by the novelty and strangeness that would result in those days.
Today, the car belongs to the Museum's collection Nicolinni and this time posing in front of the museum's purpose barranquino a story that came to prepare the journalist Thomas Wirth, the German magazine Auto Bild. It turns out that the car was very original and the unique aerodynamic design that offers two seats and is one of the few that exist of this mark (one of four that would shape later the Audi brand, hence the four rings its symbol) in South America. This car, petrol, has on the brand logo, a curious thermometer as a symbol.
The data on older cars in Peru is provided by Luis Jochamowitz who stated that it was the Swiss geologist Arthur Cornelius Wethermann who brought the first car in the country, a Serpollett Gardner, 1897, for use in the mines of Tarija.
