This car took part in the Lancashire Automobile Club's annual Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in May1992 and is seen here in the Exchange Station car park in Manchester making its way to the start line.
It's a 1928 Ford Model A, and the only information about it in the programme of the event is that it was entered by Peter C. O'Callaghan of Wrea Green, Preston. The Model A was a replacement for the Ford Model T which had been in production from 1908 to 1927. It had a 4-cylinder inline 3,294cc engine, although Ford UK used a 2,043cc engine for the European market as some European countries taxed cars according to the engine size. Production of the Model A lasted from 1927 till 1931. The DVLA record says that the capacity of this car's engine is 1,801cc
