Grammar

using a noun at the end of preposition

Hello folks
I have a question on using preposition and its object.
I read this sentence: The car is big enough to have ten people in it
and I have question on using 'it' at the end.

I learned that it is unnecessary to use an object for a preposition when the subject and the object are the same.

So my question is 1) is this sentence correct? -> The car is big enough to have ten people in it
or 2) is this sentence correct? -> The car is big enough to have ten people in

Thanks in advance

1. "The car is big enough to have ten people in it." This is grammatical, but in the US you'd more likely hear: "The car is big enough for ten people."

2. "The car is big enough to have ten people in." is ungrammatical.
