Lagonda 3 litre Tourer

This is a car on the Exchange Station car park in Manchester awaiting its turn to start in the Lancashire Automobile Club's  Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in May 1987.

It's a 1929 Lagonda 3 litre Tourer and on 1 April 2015 I showed a photograph of this car about to start on the 1992 run and said that in that year's programme of the event the only information about the car was the name of the owner. In 1987, however, this information was in the programme:

138          1929 Lagonda 3 litre Tourer

                 Reg: UU 7296  6 cylinder 17.9 hp

                 (Tom Sharples, New Longton, Preston)

Found on an airfield after the war being used as a tractor with a diesel engine fitted. It later had a Ford V8 engine but when purchased by the present owner in 1976 it was in a rough condition, although complete.

Lagonda 3 litre Tourer

This is a photograph taken on the Exchange Station car park in Manchester in May 1992 at the start of the Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run organised by the Lancashire Automobile Club.

It's a 1929 Lagonda 3 litre Tourer, but apart from the fact that it was entered in the run by Tom Sharples of New Longton, Preston, there's no other information in the programme of the event about this car. According to the list of models in the Wikipedia article about Lagonda, it's got a 2931cc ohv 6-cylinder engine and 570 of these cars were made between 1928 and 1934.
