Nicholas Cugnot's Steam Gun Carriage, 1769. This is brilliant to see. I read about this in a car book in the 1980s and it always fascinated me. It looked smaller in the artists impression. The original was described as 'a hardly workable vehicle' and it eventually crashed into a wall. A fabulous machine by all accounts. Thanks for posting.

Two small mistakes : It's not a "Cugnot". Cugnot is the inventor, and he named his invention a "fardier" from french "fardeau", a heavy charge. It's not really a military vehicle, it only ever was a prototype which was never used in real conditions.

It was meant to be a military vehicle and it was the Royal French Army that paid for the experiment. It did not go well and the Army considered the technology to be in its infancy so they were not interested further but foremost it was the chaos of the French Revolution that delayed an improved version to come in.
