This may be a little unusual: can you tell me what it is and what it's for?

Appears to be the Inspiration Steam Car, which is being prepped by a UK team to set a new land speed record for a steam power:

At 3 min 13 sec, that didn't last long!
Correct of course

Tuckeroo · « **Reply #3 on:** July 10, 2008, 02:00:13 PM »

So I guess that was a speed record unto itself!

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #4 on:** July 10, 2008, 02:46:53 PM »

Nope - Allan himself turned a 3 minute, 8 second time earlier today.

It's called British Steam Car

Ray B. · « **Reply #11 on:** December 21, 2008, 11:10:44 AM »

It's British, it's a Steam car, but it's got another name. The point is yours if you give it in 48 hours.

faksta · « **Reply #12 on:** December 21, 2008, 11:34:28 AM »

It's called British Steam Car on the project's official website

Well, I'll try to find what name do you mean.

Ray B. · « **Reply #13 on:** December 21, 2008, 11:49:31 AM »

It is somewhere on the official website.

Anton · « **Reply #14 on:** December 21, 2008, 04:22:18 PM »

Challenge, then?

Sorry, Anton: only faksta can answer this the next two days.

Anton · « **Reply #16 on:** December 21, 2008, 04:56:36 PM »

Fair enough.

Though I think I may have already answered it awhile ago:

Oops. Something went wrong when I checked.
Let's wait for an admin to merge these. I suppose that the customary rules say that faksta still deserves his point, right?

And I may have set it then - trouble is I can't be bothered to fight the site to post them in the "solved index" thread (but I do include the name in the title when they're solved).

faksta · « **Reply #20 on:** December 22, 2008, 03:43:38 AM »

Well, after all of this I think I know the name of the car from another puzzle. Though, to be said, from the text on their website I thought that Inspiration is a name of the team, not a car

You do all right and it's enough, Allan. I think here that I searched for Inspiration and the search engine couldn't find it because you wrote, without spaces harmony:Inspiration
