This car took part in the Lancashire Automobile Club's annual Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car run in June 1990, and is pictured here in the Exchange Station car park before the start of the Run.
It's a 1929 MG M-Type which has a 4-cylinder inline 847cc engine and is based on the Morris Minor. It was in production from 1928 to 1932 and 3,235 were built in that period. The programme of the event has this note about the car:
1929 MG M-Type
Reg: GG 4819 4 cylinder 8 hp
(T.H.Swallow, Linthwaite, Huddersfield)
This car spent seven years of its life welded to
the roof of a garage, as an advertising gimmick.
It has been four times winner of the Turner
Goblet, also won the Webster Trophy.
There's some interesting information about the car that I found in this Triple-M Register Forum.
