1907 Lion Peugeot Type VA

I took this photograph at a car show in Ashton-under-Lyne in March 1987.
It's the 1907 Lion-Peugeot Type VA of local businessman Clive Williams, in the front passenger seat here, and that's probably his son John in the driving seat. About 1,000 of these cars were produced between 1906 and 1908 and it has a single cylinder 785cc engine.

Peugeot 148

This car took part in a 4 lap handicap race at the VSCC's Boulogne and Hawthorn Trophies Race Meeting at Oulton Park in May 2005.
It's the 1913 Peugeot 148 of Clive Press, originally built with a 4,536cc 4-cylinder engine, but now with a 9,934cc 4-cylinder Hall-Scott A-7 aero engine.
Here's Clive Press at Britten's chicane during the race leading the 1928 Riley Brooklands of John Williams and the 1927 Alvis 12/50 SD Sports of Robert Glover.
