I took this photograph before the start of the Lancashire Automobile Club's Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car run in June 1976.
They all appear to be Austin Sevens and the DVLA record says that the nearest one, UT5209, is a 1929 car but I can't identify it in the programme of the event. The next one, PK1518 is a 1928 car with the start number 81 and the programme says this about it:
81 Mr. F. Crabtree, Colne, Lancs.
1928 Austin Seven Chummy
Off the road for 16 years this car was found in a Huddersfield yard in scrap condition. After a complete rebuild it does 48 miles to the gallon. Who can afford to run anything else in 1976?
