1902 James and Browne Tonneau

This was one of the cars that took part in the Lancashire Automobile Club's Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in June 1973.

It's the 1902 James and Browne Tonneau of the City and Guilds Motor Club and was a regular competitor in the early years of this run. The James and Browne cars were produced between 1896 and 1910 and only two cars are known to have survived. The programme of the event had this information about the car:

14 Professor H. Ford, City & Guilds College, London, S.W.7.

(Driver Mr. P Wilkins).

1902 James and Browne Tonneau, 2,460 c.c.

Named "Boanerges" after the Old Testament sons of thunder, the rare James and Browne four-seater is the mascot of the City & Guilds Motor Club. The London-built car with its twin-cylinder 9 h.p. engine is painted in the livery colours of the City of London and has taken part in the Lord Mayor's Show on several occasions.
