This car took part in the Lancashire Automobile Clubs annual Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in June 1991 and is seen in the Exchange Station car park in Manchester prior to the start of the Run.
It's the 1902 Haynes Apperson of R.Wilkinson of Bramhall, Cheshire, and a short note in the programme of the event says this about the car:
7. 1902 Haynes Apperson
Reg: BS8108 2 cylinder 12 hp
(R.Wilkinson, Bramhall, Cheshire)
This model is also called a "Surrey", and it is the first Manchester to Blackpool outing for both car and driver.
This car was sold by H & H Auctioneers in June 2004 when they provided this history of the Haynes Apperson Conpany. The city of Kokomo in Howard County, Indiana, from where the Haynes Apperson originated, still hold an annual Haynes Apperson Festival.
