Bugattis

These two cars took part in the Lancashire Automobile Club's annual Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in May 1992, and are pictured in the Exchange Station car park in Manchester before the start of the Run.

Unlike in the early days of the run in the 1960s when the programme of the Run had detailed notes of most of the cars taking part, by 1992, sadly, the programme just listed the cars and gave the names of the owners. On the left, car number 67 is a 1926 Bugatti T37 entered by Barry H Parkinson of Ribchester, Blackburn. The DVLA record shows that it has a 1,496cc engine, whilst the Bugatti Trust gives us general information about the Type 37, and bugattibuilder.com tells us that it is chassis 37190. On the right, car number 68 is a 1927 Bugatti T40 entered by Ann Morris of Aikton, Wigton, the DVLA shows the engine capacity as 1,496cc, and the Bugatti Trust again gives us general information about the Type 40. The bugattibuilder.com site tells us that it is chassis number 40323.
