1901 LOCOMOBILE LOCOSURREY STEAM CAR

The vehicle in question is a remarkable piece of early motoring history, namely the 1901 Locomobile Locosurrey Steam Car. Manufactured at the dawn of the automotive era, this right-hand drive car retains its distinctive characteristics, including an external combustion engine powered by coal or wood. This particular model exhibits high historical significance due to its Australian provenance, hailing from Fremantle in Western Australia. It stands as a testament to the pioneering spirit of transportation, predating internal combustion engines and setting the stage for future automotive innovations. Currently presented in live auction status with a high rank, it holds the potential to captivate collectors worldwide, despite its original intended use within Australia.
