I took this photograph during the
Lancashire Automobile Club's Manchester
to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in June 1966 at the roundabout that at
one time stood at the junction of the A6 and Cross Lane in Pendleton.

It's the 1914 Vinot et
Deguingand of D G Dixon and the programme of the event had this note about the
car:
30. Mr. D.G. Dixon, St. Helens
1914 Vinot Et Deguingand
4-seater tourer 1690c.c.
Only two other examples of
this make are known in this country. The body was built in London, so the
vehicle was probably imported from France as a chassis only. It has a very good
performance for its comparatively small engine, and in 10 years has only failed
once due to magneto trouble.
