1901 De Dion Bouton 4½hp Voiturette

This was one of the entrants in the Lancashire Automobile Club's Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in June 1980 and is pictured in a very wet Manchester before the start of the run.
It's the 1901 De Dion Bouton of Major Arnold Pownall and a note in the programme of the event says this about the car:

3. Major A.Pownall, Wilmslow, Cheshire
1901 De Dion Bouton 4½ h.p. Voiturette
This single cylinder car was assembled in America and spent its life there until 1972, when it was imported into this country.

The DVLA record says that the car is currently taxed and this is due for renewal in May 2024.
