A replica of Richard Trevithick's 1801 road locomtive Puffing Devill at the National Railway Museum in York during the Rail200 Railfest in 2004.

This vehicle is road-legal in Great Britain and is registered with the DVLA with the make "Trevithick" and model "No. 1", although it is limtied to a maximum of 6mph because of its steel-tyred wheels.

Despite being constructed for the 2001 bicentenary of the original, no road tax is levied on the replica as if it was truly older than the cut-off. This is apparently because officialdom did not believe that anyone could possibly want to construct and run a new steam-powered vehicle and so no category exists it fits.
