1930 Aston Martin International

I took this photograph on Peter Street, at the junction with Mosley Street, at the Lancashire Automobile Club's Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in June 1975.

It’s a 1930 Aston Martin International and the programme of the event has this note about it:

 

‘164   Mr. R.M. Pickard, Heaton Moor, Stockport, Cheshire.

            1930 Aston Martin International.

This car, bought new by John Cadbury, was driven by him in the first R.A.C. Rally held in 1932. Mr. Pickard usually enters his Veteran De Dion Bouton but this year has brought the one he uses for everyday transport as the De Dion is having a major rebuild.’
