In several of the Punch magazines from 1909 there were a series of illustrations called 'Mr. Punch's Motor-Cars' that featured different types of vehicles that were designed for specific trades or interests.
One had a large basket for catching people that was titled 'For Recruiting Officers' and another was a rolling library and was 'For Literary Boomsters.'
The one for the April 14 edition is of special interest here.
It may not look exactly like Holmes, but it's close enough for my comfort.

I could totally picture Benedict Cumberbatch on that car. Jeremy Brett, maybe not so much.

Re: Cumberbatch and Brett, I agree. I could see Petrenko there, too...
