This car took part in the Lancashire Automobile Club's Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in May 1992 and is pictured here in the Exchange Station car park in Manchester before the start of the Run.
The only information about it in the programme of the event is that it's a 1915 Overland Tourer entered by Robert S Kemp of Aughton near Ormskirk. The car was entered in the previous year's run, however, and the 1991 programme gave the following information:
1915 Overland Tourer
Reg: AD 4296 4 cylinder 15/20 hp
(Robert S. Kemp, Aughton)
This Overland was a one-family car for
more than 40 years from new. It is still in
totally original condition, and has only
covered minimal mileage in its lifetime.
Overland Motors was purchased by John North Willys in 1908, and the company was renamed Willys-Overland in 1912 so I suppose this 1915 car should be known as a Willys-Overland. It appears to be a model 83.
