What is a Stanley Steamer? I asked Mrs 'Blog' this question and she replied, " it sounds like an american launderette"
The Stanley Steamer is in fact a motor car driven by steam - it's easy when someone gives you the answer
All being well there will be an appearance of a Stanley Steamer at the Gala this year. It will be a 1911 10hp model - I understand it's kept in very good condition - sorry I don't have a picture of this one
Facts:
In 1906 a steam powered car broke the world land speed record achieving a recorded speed of 127mph in the process. It can take up to half an hour to build up enough steam pressure to propel a steam car (source: oldandsold.com)
