1901 De Dion Bouton 4½hp Voiturette

This was one of the entrants in the Lancashire Automobile Club's Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in June 1981 and is pictured in Manchester before the start of the run.
I no longer have the 1981 programme, but it was also in the 1980 Run when the programme of the event included this note 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 currently has a SORN.
