2003 Dodge Ram 1500

This is one of the vehicles that took part in a classic car show on the market square in Hyde in September 2021.

It's a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500

It has a 345 cu in (5.7 litre) V8 engine

1959 AC Aceca

This is a photograph I took at the Vintage Sports Car Club's meeting at Oulton Park in June 1985.

It's a 1959 AC Aceca which the DVLA says has been untaxed since May 1987. The AC Aceca has the 6-cylinder inline 1,971cc Bristol engine derived from the M328 engine which powered the pre-war BMW 328.

1962 Lola Mk4

This car was driven by Marcus Pye in the Maserati UK Race for Pre-1966 Grand Prix and Tasman Cars at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1999.

It's the 1962 Lola Mk4 of Duncan Dayton that was campaigned in the 1962 season by the Bowmaker Racing Team in place of the Cooper T53 cars they had used the previous season. The Lola Mk4, like several of the other teams, used the 1,496cc V8 Coventry Climax FWMV engine and three of these cars were apparently built, this one being chassis BRGP42 that John Surtees drove in most of the Grand Prix races in the 1962 season.

1948 Seddon Mk 5L

This is one of the vehicles that took part in the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally at Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1990.

It's a 1948 Seddon Mk5L and a note in the programme of the event had this to say about it:

Seddon Mk5L, 1948                         EM 4316

Entered by J Longson, Preston, Lancashire

New to Silcox and Son and operated by them until 1980 when it was laid up. Purchased by the present owner in 1985 and restored over a 3 year period.

1930 McDowell Dirt Racer

This was an unusual entry in the Richard Seaman Memorial Vintage Trophy Race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's meeting at Oulton Park in June 1984.

It's a 1930 McDowell Dirt Racer and was driven by Tom Threlfall. The only information about the car in the programme of the event is that it had a 3,400cc engine, but there is a note which says:

'...it is a tribute to V.S.C.C. President Tom Threlfall that he has got so high on the grid with his McDowell Dirt Racer with its fairly humble Ford origins.'

Friday's Ferrari(s)

Two Ferraris and a Maserati at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in August 1996.

Burkhard Von Schenk in his 1956 Maserati 250F leading the 1959 Ferrari 246 Dinos of Robin Lodge and Tony Merrick at Luffield corner in the HGPCA Pre '60 GP Car Race.

1913 GWK

This was one of the participants in the Lancashire Automobile Club's Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in June 1977.

It's the 1913 GWK of Mrs Hilda Kitson of Brindle, Chorley and the programme of the event had this note about the car:

Mrs H. Kitson, Brindle, Chorley, Lancs.

1913 G.W.K. 2 cylinder 8 h.p. 2 seater.

Only one of seven traceable. No gears - friction drive. Cork discs for clutch obtainable only from a cork firm in Elland Yorks., and Mrs Kitson has shipped six to a GWK owner in Johannesburg, S.A. Oil is hand pumped and it uses low grade petrol. Engine wrecked last year. Mrs Kitson appeared on Blue Peter and had appeals by Charlie Chester and Radio Blackburn and obtained a G.W.K. engine from a V.C.C. member in Stroud.
