Steam Three wheeler

<HTML>The September 2002 issue of Old Glory (the vintage restoration magazine from the UK) has a picture on page 9 of a nice Morgan 3 wheeler replica with a V twin compound steam engine in place of the normal V twin motor bike engine. It was built by Bill Chorlton of Knutsford Cheshire.

Does anyone have a contact, more details, etc.

Cheers

<HTML>Mark,
Have you tried Mrs. Diana Goddard? She seems to know everybody on that side of the pond. She is the Secretary/Treasurer of "The Steam Car" (The Journal of the Steam Car Club of Great Britan). Find her at: steamcarGB@aol.com</HTML>

<HTML>Thanks Jeff
Morgan 3 wheelers and vehicles in that style tend to polarise people. I'm in the, definitely like them, to old to give a toss about what others think camp. I'm looking forward to the details.
