Edwardian Cars

One of the short handicap races at the Vintage Sports Car Club's meeting at Oulton Park in June 1993 included an award for the first Edwardian (1905 to 1918) car to finish. Here are two of the eligible cars at Foulston's chicane during the race.

The leading car is the 1912 Abbott-Detroit of David White that the programme of the event says has a 4.7 litre Continental engine. That car is being followed by the 1913 Overland of John Brydon, and the only information about this car in the programme is that it has a 4.5 litre engine, though the DVLA record says that it is a 1915 car with an engine of 4,490cc.
