This is a photograph that I took in Manchester in
June 1978 before the start of the Lancashire Automobile Club’s Manchester to
Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run.
It’s a 1907 Renault Landaulette and the programme
of the event had this note about the car:
25
Mr. G. A. Griffin, Telford, Salop.
1907 Renault Landaulette, 24.8 h.p.
This car was originally owned by the Hepworth
family, and is one of the tallest cars made, being 7ft 6in high. It has a crest
on the door declaring “Loyal à Mort”.
Her French ancestry is self-evident. It is being taken to Dieppe on April 20th
on a weekend rally.
