I took this photograph at the Northern Classic Car Show in the G-Mex Centre, Manchester in August 1990.
It's a 1913 Theophile Schneider and there's no mention of it in the brochure of the event, but it appears to be on the stand of the Manchester Vintage Car Club. I have a photograph I took of the car at Oulton Park in 1992 where it was entered by Roger Firth and the programme for that meeting shows it to have a 4-cylinder inline 5,504cc engine and also says: 'The 5.5 litre Theophile Schneider of Roger Firth was built up by John Rowley and is of the type which ran in the 1913 French Grand Prix at Amiens with an L-head side-valve engine.'
