Default What was the first front wheel dive car on the roads?

I think it was the mini.

Was the mini about in the 90's? That's the 1890's BTW.

From wikip "sometime between 1895 and 1898 Gräf & Stift built a voiturette
with a one-cylinder De Dion-Bouton engine fitted in the front of the
vehicle, powering the front axle."

AFAIK the mini was the first transverse engine production car, but I can't
say I am an expert in trivia.
