1912 Abbott -Detroit

This was one of the competitors in the 4-Lap Handicap Race for Edwardian Cars  at the VSCC's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Oulton Park in August 1992.

It's the 1912 Abbott-Detroit of David White which the programme of the event says has a 4.7 litre engine. A note in the programme describing the cars in the race says this:

'Another American car is David White's racing-bodied 1912 Abbott-Detroit. These cars were built in Detroit from 1909 to 1916, and then in Cleveland for a further year. Using stock chassis, Abbott-Detroit had some racing successes, winning the Philadelphia Trophy race at Fairmount Park, Pennsylvania, in 1910, and in 1911, the 135-mile Aurora Trophy race at the second Elgin Road Races in Illinois. That year, Abbott-Detroit was also successful in the Algonquin Hillclimb.'

The car is road-registered and the registration number is DS 9104.
