1903 Panhard et Levassor?

This is a photograph that I took during the Lancashire Automobile Club's  Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in June 1963 at the roundabout that at one time stood at the junction of the A6 and Cross Lane in Pendleton.

The programme of the event says that car number 8 is a 1904 De Dion Bouton, but the VCC plate clearly says 1903. It doesn’t appear to be a De Dion and is possibly a 1903 Panhard et Levassor. The programme of the event says that the number 9 car that day was a 1903 Panhard et Levassor and though I photographed all the early cars in the run I've not got one of the number 9 so I suppose it's possible that it was re-numbered as 8. I doubt that though as the driver of that car was listed as John Bolster who invariably wore a deerstalker hat, so he's not one of the gentlemen in the car pictured here. The DVLA record says that AA218 is now on a 2014 Mini.

Update: This car was also in the 1966 run where the programme showed it as a 1903 Regal - apparently one of the names under which Lacoste et Battmann sold their cars.
