1931 Sentinel Steam Bus DG6P "Elizabeth"

Sentinel Steam Bus "Elizabeth" in service in Whitby in June 2010.

Sentinel Waggon Works, Shrewsbury, England.  Sentinel was a producer of steam vehicles from 1906 until the fifties.  Elizabeth was built in 1931 in the Shrewsbury factory of Sentinel as a Super-Sentinel flatbed lorry No.8590.  She is powered by a 2 cylinder double acting steam engine driving the rear wheels through a 2 speed gearbox and chain drive.   There is a coal powered vertical boiler in the cab.  It is rather exciting to see the flames rising in the cab as the bus goes along the road.  After nearly been scrapped in the sixties, she was converted into a steam bus and eventually authorised to carry fare paying passengers.  From 2006 to 2014 Elizabeth operated a steam service in Whitby, Yorkshire.   She has been moved to Weston-super-Mare in Southern England in 2015 where she has been rebuilt and refurbished.  She was recently introduced to the public again.  Long may she continue giving rides as the only steam powered bus in Europe to transport fare paying passengers.  She carries up to 30 passengers.  If you want a ride visit the web site of Crosville Motor Services the operator.

BRM, Bourne, England.   The BRM P25 was the first successful F1 GP car built by BRM.  It raced in the 2.5 litre formula in the late fifties.  Jo Bonnier scored the marque's fist GP victory at Zandvoort in 1959 driving won of these cars for the work's team. Harry Schell, Jean Behra and Stirling Moss also scored GP podiums with this car in 1958 to 1959.  Behra scored a couple of non-championship victories in the P25.

Singer, Coventry, England.  Singer were a major competitor to MG and Riley. The Singer B37 is a rare car as only a dozen were made, four of which were raced, four were sold and four used as spares. For financial reasons production was stopped after the first twelve - a great pity. Only a few survive. They have 1.5 litre straight 4 engines.  I believe the one in the photo is one of the works racing cars and it is now raced regularly in historic events.
