Described as short-lived steam-powered venture by Walter Hancock (or Handcock?) in 1833. After its failure, everything for the next 60+ years was apparently horse-drawn.

 The 'Enterprise' is one of a series of very early steam driven carriages built in London by the pioneering engineer Walter Hancock between 1824 and 1836.

 As re-created, and subsequently as driven by Fred Dibnah.

 To think how different the world would be today is steam-powered vehicles did take off in 1833...

 ^ They did, and in a big way. On railway tracks.

i often have a similar thought about electric cars... the 1st car to reach 100 km/h was electric , in 1899.. who knows how their performance and autonomy would be 120 years later..

And still they are never content. You can always count on somebody to want more.

 I also remembered this Church steam carriage made the previous year! It uses an unconventional 1-2-1 wheel system.
