Inventor Builds Steampunk Inspired Automatron Car

ECCENTRIC British inventor Paul Bacon has gone 'full steam ahead' on his latest customised car. Dubbed the “Automatron”, Paul’s latest steampunk-style creation is his most expensive build to date and is still not completed. Looking like something out of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the Automatron boasts a supercharged V8 engine and uses a switch gear from a Lancaster Bomber to start. The front wheels are from an Austin 7 and he has used the biggest street legal tyres for the rear wheels.
