A pensioner has spent £24,000 building a steam-powered car for his daily commute to work.

Frank Rothwell, 67, gutted a 50-year-old Land Rover and replaced the original engine with a steam engine.

Tony Dunkley is a first class engineer, semi-retired now, but a lifetime of experience, and Works trained at Listers. You could not do better.

TBH, I'd say that if electric cars did ever become prevalent then Land Rovers would be among the very last to be converted.

His foot. He's scooting it along through a hole in the floor. It's just a kettle under the bonnet to make steam.
