This car took part in the Lancashire Automobile Club's Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in June 1986, starting from the Exchange Station car park in Manchester.
It's a 1926 Morris Cowley, popularly known as the 'Bullnose' because of the rounded radiator cowling, and is seen here moving up to the start line. The programme of the event had this note about the car:
95 1926 Morris Cowley
Reg: UM 2490 4 cylinder 11.9 hp 1200cc
(Geoffrey Bull, Birchencliffe, Huddersfield)
If this two-seater seems familiar, it could be because you've
glimpsed it on television - it has starred in Nanny, The
Mitford Sisters and The Good Companions, driven by
Judy Cornwell.
Although the programme note says that the car has a 1200cc engine, the 1926 Morris Cowley was offered with straight-4 engines of 1,548cc and 1,802cc capacity. To complicate matters even further, the DVLA say the capacity of this car's engine is 1,479cc.
