This car took part in the Lancashire Automobile Club's annual Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in June 1986.
It's a 1927 Morris Oxford, generally known as the 'Flatnose' to differentiate it from the Morris Oxford 'Bullnose' that had ceased production in 1926, and it's pictured moving up to the start line in the Exchange Station car park in Manchester. The only information about the car in the programme of the event is this:
1927 Morris 'Flatnose' Oxford
Reg, VB 1091 4 cylinder 13.9hp
(Marilyn Rushworth, Sowerby Bridge, W. Yorks)
The DVLA record shows the engine to have a capacity of 1,700cc, though the car should originally have had a 4-cylinder 1,802cc engine.
