I took this photograph just after the car had left the start point of the Lancashire Automobile Club's Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in June 1985.

I no longer have the programme of the event, but this car was a regular participant in the Run and the 1986 programme says this about it:
1901 De Dion Bouton Tonneau
Reg: D 235 1 cylinder 8 hp
W.A. Pownall, Hazel Grove, Cheshire
The original "Surrey with the fringe on top" - this car has won the concours
in its class on the run ten times. It spent much of its early life in India where
it was owned by a prince. It was also once owned by Sir William Rootes.
