This was one of the participants in the
Lancashire Automobile Club's first Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage
Car Run in June 1963 at the Broad Street/Cross Lane roundabout in Salford.

It's a 1905 Alldays & Onions and the
programme of the event had this note about it:
'21.
1905 Alldays & Onions. Entered by Calder S.C.
Swing Seat Tonneau. Made in Birmingham by
Alldays & Onions Ltd., firm founded in 1650 and still operating. Engine:
Single cylinder.'
I’ve found that Onions (formed by John Onions in 1650) and
William Allday & Co. (formed by William Allday in 1720) joined in 1889
under the ownership of Alldays & Onions Pneumatic Engineering Company
Limited and produced its first car in 1898. The company hit commercial success
with the 1.6-litre, vertical-twin side-valve 10/12, which was made from 1905 to
1913 and this is presumably one of those cars.
