This car is in the Exchange Station car park in Manchester waiting for the start of the Lancashire Automobile Club's Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in May 1987.
It's a 1912 Berliet, and the entry in the programme of the event says this about it:
'1912 Berliet
Reg. NA 237 4 cylinder 20/25 hp
(Richard Hill, Ashton-in-Makerfield)
This is the actual 1912 Motor Show Berliet. It
was bought new at the show by Manchester
architect Joseph Sunlight. He used it until 1926
when it was stored on blocks. Recent
restoration by present owner and bodywork by
William Arnold of Manchester.'
The DVLA say that it was last taxed up to February 2007, has a 4,398cc engine, and it's colour is shown as maroon. I've seen elsewhere that it's a Berliet 22hp Type L14 enclosed Limousine and is chassis #9660.
