When our children were little I remember a series of children's books by Val Biro about a 'magic' 1926 Austin Heavy 12/4 Clifton Tourer which went by the name of 'Gumdrop'. Here is a photograph of a 1925 Austin Heavy 12/4 Clifton Tourer which I took at the start of the Lancashire Automobile Club's Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in May 1987.
The programme of the event says this about the car:
81 1925 Austin Clifton Tourer'
Reg: KM 630 4 cylinder 12hp
(Driver: P.M. Greenwood, Manchester)
This car is owned by Lockwood and Greenwood Ltd., of Audenshaw, Manchester. It had one owner from new until 1968, and since then has undergone comprehensive restoration by the present owners.
Lockwood and Greenwood Ltd is a firm of car dealers who used to specialise in British Leyland (later Rover Group) models, which included Austin.
