Pictured of the Exchange Station car park in Manchester, this is one of the cars taking part in the Lancashire Automobile Club's annual Manchester to Blackpool Veteran And Vintage Car Run in June 1991.
It's the 1924 Morris Cowley of George Garlick, and the programme of the event said this about the car:
44. 1924 Morris Cowley
Reg: RK 1764 4 cylinder 11.9 hp
(George Garlick, Elswick, Preston)
Mr Garlick has been a Manchester to Blackpool regular for ten
years - but this is only the second time in this car. Purchased in
1988 in the form of a chassis, engine, and various tea-chests
full of parts. It was completed and put on the road by August 1989.
The Morris Cowley was a more basic version of the Morris Oxford, produced from 1919 to 1926 and powered by a straight-4 side-valve engine of either 1,548cc or 1,802cc. This model of the Cowley was popularly known as the 'Morris Bullnose' because of the distinctive round-topped radiator, as was its sister car the Morris Oxford. There's a Bullnose Morris Club for owners of these vehicles.
