1926 Bugatti Type 37

This is one of the cars that took part in the Lancashire Automobile Club's annual Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in May 1992 and is seen here just approaching the start line at the exit of the Exchange Station car park in Manchester.

Unlike in the early days of the run in the 1960s when the programme of the Run had detailed notes of most of the cars taking part, by 1992, sadly, the programme just listed the cars and gave the names of the owners. The programme just tells us that this is a 1926 Bugatti T37 entered by Barry H Parkinson of Ribchester, Blackburn. The DVLA record shows that it has a 1,496cc engine, whilst the Bugatti Trust gives us general information about the Type 37, and bugattibuilder.com tells us that it is chassis 37190.
