1921 Fiat 501

This is one of the cars that took part in the Lancashire Automobile Club's Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in June 1976.
It's the 1921 Fiat 501 of John Ward of Bromsgrove and the programme of the event had this note about the car:

45     Mr John Ward, Bromsgrove, Worcs.
         1921 Fiat 501, 10 h.p. 4-cylinder.
Purchased by the present owner many years ago after standing on blocks in a barn. After fitting a charged battery it started immediately and was driven home. No major items have been replaced and the original upholstery is still serviceable. Winner of the Special Test last year.

The DVLA record says that this car has been untaxed since July 2010.
