Duncan has a very concentrated form of refined british motoring spirit, something you can learn and admire particularly in Goodwood. Very contagious passion !
Also, mister pittaway is an incredible car collector and I always love watching the festival of speed to see his cars. Because he has a 1966 plymouth barracuda, and I myself Have a1965 Plymouth Barracuda
Yes, yes, yes, I totally agree. You can go into a whole bunch of car museums, and just like he said, they're nothing more than a big barn. Full of dead cars, but you go to something like this and you see the cars of action you see them working going doing. If you can smell them, you can touch them, you can You can see them up close if and it's something that's worth your time
@@jonm7272 Besides that, it is in no way a comparison. The coal steam car is cast iron (lasts forever) and wood (easily replaced), and was built as a one-off private project. A modern car is 0.8mm sheet steel of varying quality, designed for a maximum life span and maximum production cost as the profit margin is the end goal of the manufacturer. If cars were built to last 130 years, almost nobody would be able to afford one. Like it was back in the day. OP needs to stop creating drama where there isn't any, at least for those with a brain.
Honestly with the sophisticated flash steam generators of 1920s steam cars using enclosed convective combustion boiling steam to +10000psi with water condensing, such a technology would be much better suited for heavy road, rail and sea transport than diesel (or hydrogen lol) combustion.
How I have changed. Just watched a guy who likes to claim, speciously, that he is rebuilding a two-million dollar mclaran! Oh my. Boring, useless UA-cam channel fluff. This machine on the other hand. Well I see even at this distance why the owner is so effusive about his car. Wonderful machine. Could not be in the hands of a better caretaker
For the environment we should ban all cars except steam cars. People will think twice about whether their journey is really necessary, if they have to heat up a steam boiler for an hour and a half.

Couldn't imagine Goodwood without this guy! He always brings a car that looks like it should either fall apart or explode but we love them all!
Indeed!! It is the sound the smell the vibration of these ancient beasts that stirs the soul
Well done !
Duncan Pittaway is the essence of enthusiasm, knowledge and guts too. Guts ? The beast of Turin. He drives it, on the road. Long may he enthuse. Keith

Gives the phrase "rolling coal" an entirely different meaning... 😉
What a great interview

Brilliant!
Wonderful piece of engineering ! 👍
Would be great to see it at Kop Hill climb next year!
Thanxalot for posting !!
Story vehicle always beautiful
How many Kias, Hyundai, or Teslas will you see around 130 years from now?
Probably a similar number as we see 130 Yr old cars now, almost none.

Coal still is king. For EVs.

Love the car, loathe the synthetic rubbish.
Why?
@@jonm7272 People are afraid of change.

very interesting, next time, please show less men and more of the car.
