These Photographs
were taken on Sunday 11th April, 1965,
at the 3rd Manchester to Blackpool
Veteran and Vintage Car Run, organised
by the Lancashire Automobile Club.
The notes in the programme for
the Car Run stated:
“No-one can offer any concrete
suggestions as to who built the body,
but the general opinion is that it
is French. As far as can be ascertained,
it is in completely original condition,
with the exception of the cigar lighter,
coil and hood.It is an all aluminium
body with fitted toolboxes in the
running boards. Interior wood is of
unpolished teak.Accordingly, to interested
passers-by, it is the most beautiful
8 litre they have ever seen. It is
the second from last 8 litre ever
to be built by the company”. |
