1902 Wolseley Tonneau

This is a photograph that I took at the Lancashire Automobile Club's Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in June 1966.
It's a 1902 Wolseley Tonneau and the programme of the event had this note about the car:

6.      Major James Gardiner, O.B.E., J.P., Thelwall, Warrington.
         1902 Wolseley Tonneau two-cylinder 4½. x 5¼ in.
This car was delivered to the famous Engineer William Worby Beaumont, a founder member of the Automobile Club of Great Britain and Ireland, who wrote the first technical book on motor cars on July 16th, 1902.
