A regular at local shows.
It was built in 1967 by the late Laurie Nelson of Solihull, West Midlands. He called it his steam buggy & it uses a modified 1939/45 Merryweather steam fire pump fitted into a converted London taxi chassis. It's a single cylinder engine, with 5" bore x 4" stroke, & a working boiler pressure of 125 psi, giving a maximum speed of 20 mph.

You're impressed with my knowledge of steam cars aren't you!
-alright, I looked it up on the 'net.

As I left the showsite in my little Fiesta, loaded up with chairs & marquee parts, one of the marshals asked Did you enjoy the show?
Yeah, we had a great time. Thanks.
Good, we'll let you come again next year then.  Smiley
-mind you, he hadn't seen Darren hooning round & round the field on his trike.

Each year we make up a little trophy, then decide on the day what we're going to award it for. This year's was no contest.
A very well deserved Long Distance award went to Mike, ("Spanners"), who drove an amazing 250 miles, towing his Reliant trike, just to spend the day with us. In fact he & his lovely lady were among the first to arrive. We really appreciated it Mike. Definitely above & beyond the call of duty.
I provided the king Monkey from my ever growing collection of monkey souvenirs, Loony painted it & his Dad Dave created the base.
If you want to win next year's award, you'll have to join us.
Same time, same place next year chaps.  Wink
