This car took part in the Lancashire Automobile Club's Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in May 1992, starting in the Exchange Station car park in Manchester.
It's a 1912 Stoewer Open Tourer, and the only information about it in the programme of the event is that it was entered by Kevin Bann of Fence, Burnley, and that it ran in the class for cars from 1905 to 1918 of over 20hp RAC rating. The Stoewer company was founded by Emil and Bernhard Stoewer in Stettin (then in Germany) and produced cars from 1899 to 1940. At the end of the Second World War that part of Germany was occupied by the Russians who closed the factory down, and in 1945 Stettin became part of Poland and was renamed Szczecin. I've been unable to find out any more information about this particular car.
