This was one of the entrants
in the Lancashire Automobile Club's Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage
Car Run in June 1980 and is pictured in a very wet Manchester before the start
of the run.
It's the 1901 De Dion Bouton
of Major Arnold Pownall and a note in the programme of the event says this
about the car:
3. Major A.Pownall, Wilmslow,
Cheshire
1901 De Dion Bouton 4½ h.p.
Voiturette
This single cylinder car was
assembled in America and spent its life there until 1972, when it was imported
into this country.
The DVLA record says that the
car is currently taxed and this is due for renewal in May 2026.
