[Land-speed] Seeking Information on vehicle and current owner

The car was displayed in the Harrah collection in Reno, Nevada in the
late nineties, and if I recall correctly there was a notice that mentioned the
owner(s) in front of the car. 
 
If you want to study a complex steam car, why
not come over to Britain and look at the streamliner Don Wales and Charles
Burnett III drove at Edwards AFB. There were two US contenders to take the
record set but have not seen or read about their progress.
 
Enjoy your
new-found post-Sunbeam engineering "fix".

What I am looking for is information on who the current owner of the current
steam record holder, the Barber Nichols car that ran in 1985 and set the

steam record and where that car is located, if it still exists.    Why
am I
interested? Well, this year will conclude the Sunbeam efforts I have
had under
way for a long,  long time and I need something to fiddle with.
No, I don't
think I would campaign the car, but, maybe to kind of restore it
and to see
how it actually works. Steam is a growing interest with me.  Why?
Well because
I think that modern applications of control systems,  materials
and designs
could improve  steam usefulness.  Especially in the automotive
world.  Maybe
so, maybe not. 



So, please shoot me any and all information regards the
current or last
known owner(s), contacts and where the car might be located
and I will be in
your debt.  No matter how old the information might be.
Many, many thanks!
