This is a photograph that I took in Manchester before the start of
the Lancashire Automobile Club’s Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in June 1977.
It’s a 1922 Morgan TT Replica,
and the programme of the event had this note about it:
38 G.B. Chivrall, Bacup, Lancs.
1922 Morgan “TT Replica” 8 h.p. 980 c.c.
2 cylinders
This car has been built up
from parts assembled from all over the country. The chassis is a standard one
of 1922 but with wider track and modern tyres and rims. The body is a copy of
one fitted to a factory special in 1913 which was built for the cyclecar T.T.
which was cancelled in favour of World War I. This car is fitted for the moment
with a side valve J.A.P. engine with cast-iron pistons.
