What I am looking for is information on who the current owner of the current
steam record holder, the Barber Nichols car that ran in 1985 and set the
SCTA steam record and where that car is located, if it still exists. Why
am I interested? Well, this year will conclude the Sunbeam efforts I have
had under way for a long, long time and I need something to fiddle with.
No, I don't think I would campaign the car, but, maybe to kind of restore it
and to see how it actually works. Steam is a growing interest with me. Why?
Well because I think that modern applications of control systems, materials
and designs could improve steam usefulness. Especially in the automotive
world. Maybe so, maybe not.
So, please shoot me any and all information regards the current or last
known owner(s), contacts and where the car might be located and I will be in
your debt. No matter how old the information might be.
Many, many thanks!
