1932 Leyland Cub

I took this photograph at the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally at Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1988.
It's a 1932 Leyland Cub and has a 6-cylinder 4,086cc petrol engine. A note in the programme of the event reads as follows:
 
'BV 1673 Leyland Cub, 1932. Entered by H. Booth, Barnsley, S. Yorks. Originally new to Blackburn Corporation Transport Department, this vehicle was scrapped in 1962 and then preserved in 1965. Following three years rallying the vehicle went into store to emerge in 1987.'
 
I believe that this vehicle is now at the Beamish Museum.
