Peter Van Houten's steam car 1955
This coal-fired steam driven car was built over 3 years by Peter Van Houten, then of The Leys. He had put a 1909 Stanley steam car engine (built in America 1909) in an old car chassis. It can cruise comfortably at 30 mph and Peter prefers to have a friend with him to act as stoker. A cwt of coal will drive the car up to 70 miles.
