1915 Swift

This is one of the cars that took part in the Lancashire Automobile Club's Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in June 1978 and is pictured in Manchester before the start of the Run.
It's the 1915 Swift of Mr D J Casson - I can't find out much information about this car, but there is a Swift Club for the owners of Swift cars. A note in the programme of the event says this about the car:

'22 Mr. D.J. Casson, Slyne, Lancaster
1915 Swift 10  h.p.
This car was delivered to a wealthy landowner in Morayshire for his daughter's use. She used the car for only a year or so, financial troubles caught up with the family, and the car lay derelict until 1927 in an old stable adjoining the Mansion house. Purchased by the present owner in August 1977.'
