This was one of the entrants in the Lancashire Automobile Car Club's annual Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in June 1977 and is pictured in Manchester before the start of the Run.

It's a 1910 Deasy Tourer, but I don't have details of the owner as I no longer have the programme of the event. The only information I can find of the Deasy Motor Car Manufacturing Company is that it was formed in Coventry by Henry Deasy in 1906, but he left the company in 1908. John Siddeley joined the company in 1909 and in 1912 the name of the company was changed to the Siddley-Deasey Motor Car Company. I have found an extract from an Armstrong Siddeley book, however, that says the car is number 2039, a JDS Deasy 12hp Torpedo Tourer, and was probably owned at the time by Nigel Bradshaw of Lancashire.
