1926 Vauxhall Tourer

This was one of the entrants in the Lancashire Automobile Club's Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in May 1987 starting in the Exchange Station car park in Manchester.
It's a 1926 Vauxhall Tourer and the programme of the event said this about it:

87   1926 Vauxhall Tourer
        Reg: KU 8110   4 cylinder   17 hp
        (V. Power, Manchester)
This white tourer is owned by Samuel Webster's Brewery and is today
being used by Piccadilly Radio, Manchester, as a base for live inserts
from the Run, for Mike Sweeney's Sunday morning Family Favourites
Show.

I don't know what model of Vauxhall this is. The DVLA record says that it has a 1,701cc engine, but I can find no Vauxhall model from the 1920s that had an engine of this capacity, nor one advertised as being a 17hp model.
