It's a LOCO-MOTOR! Pensioner, 67, spends £24,000 transforming a gutted 50-year-old Land Rover into a coal-powered steam engine for his commute to work


A pensioner has spent £24,000 building a steam-powered car for his daily commute to work.

Frank Rothwell, 67, gutted a 50-year-old Land Rover and replaced the original engine with a steam engine.

After dedicating more than 400 hours to the project, the traction engine enthusiast and former contestant on Bear Grylls' The Island proudly took his new motor out for a spin.
