1900 Georges Richard Dogcart

This is a photograph I took at the Broad Street/Cross Lane roundabout in Salford of one of the cars that took part in the Lancashire Automobile Club's Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in June 1965.

It's the 1900 Georges Richard Dogcart of  Mr J. E. Crossman of Whiston, Lancs and the programme of the event had this to say about the car:

 

5.       Georges Richard Dogcart

           Found in a field in Shropshire about 17 years ago, has completed several R.A.C. Brighton Runs. There are only three Georges Richards, one about the same age in Belgium the other about 1903 in England. Twin cylinder, engine across the frame like the modern Mini Minor, belt drive to gear box and final drive by chains to rear wooden solid-tyred wheels. It has a varnished wooden body and has four forward and reverse gears.

This is a photograph I took at the Broad Street/Cross Lane roundabout in Salford of one of the cars that took part in the Lancashire Automobile Club's Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in June 1966.

It's the 1900 Georges Richard Dogcart 9hp of  Mr J. E. Crossman of Whiston, Lancs and the programme of the event had this to say about the car:

'Found in a field in Shropshire about 19 years ago by the present owner. Regularly completes the London/Brighton run. Has a transverse engine (like a Mini) in principle, drives with a flat belt to the 4-speed and reverse Gearbox and by Chains to rear wheels. Wheels are wooden, solid tyres on rear and pneumatic on front.'

On 14 December 2021 I showed a photograph of the same Georges Richard Dogcart that I had taken at Oulton Park in May 2019.
