Recorded originDenmark
ClassOpen five-passenger touring car
Power12 hp
Jens Bukh and Johannes Gry's sole automobile type, constructed at their Hørve machine works after both men returned from experience in the American motor industry. The open five-passenger car used friction transmission rather than a conventional stepped gearbox and was shown at Copenhagen's Tivoli Gardens in 1905. An international automobile encyclopedia says only one was built, whereas a Danish agricultural museum history records two cars; the catalog preserves the conflict and one model family instead of inventing a second designation. Bukh & Gry then concentrated on windmills and stationary gasoline, petroleum and diesel engines. Later Bukh tractors, the Bukh Mobil airfield tractor/tug and marine engines belong to subsequent Bukh corporate and product eras, not this 1904 passenger-car model.

How this is measured → This record contains useful sourced evidence, but it does not yet meet the reference-ready standard. Still needed: attributed imagery. Fields we cannot source stay empty rather than guessed.
Research notes
Published accounts conflict between one car and two cars; all describe a single mechanical model and no defensible chassis-by-chassis split survives.
