222. What Seems to be the Trouble?

A work by the well-known artist Malcolm Root depicting an AA motor cyclist stopping to help a family in their Morris 8 Series "E" car. Signed and dated 1994.

This example is a "Collector's" puzzle being the same size as the standard Maxis but having more (425) and smaller pieces. It contains several whimsies, mainly on a motoring or sporting theme and three interlocking circles have been cut into the design (see photo of the reverse).

This subject was also one of a series of six puzzles in the "Malcolm Root Collection".
