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 in the Exchange Station car park in Manchester before the start of the Run.

It's the 1923 Rolls Royce 20 Tourer of Major A. Pownall of Wilmslow with only this basic entry in the programme of the event:
1923 Rolls Royce 20 Tourer,
Reg: VK 6701 6 cylinder 20 hp
(Major A. Pownall, Wilmslow, Cheshire)
The car also took part in the Run in 1992, however, when this additional information was given:
'The "smallest" Rolls of its day, the 20 Tourer cost £1,000 in chassis form. Rolls quoted a power figure of 53 bhp at 3000 revs. It was the first Rolls to have a detachable cylinder head.'
