THE NATIONAL VETERAN TOUR, 2012 - VETERAN CAR DISPLAY:
The Concours d'Elegance of the Veteran Tour. The Ipswich Showgrounds Ring was
encircled by Veteran Cars with Trade Displays in the centre. A
wonderful array of vehicles rivalling anything I have viewed at the likes of
Goodwood and Brooklands, absolutely first class.

Powered by a four cylinder 1,087cc engine producing 9.5hp and

The car was developed from the Ford Types N, R and S from the 1906~1908 era. The
car predates the Model T Ford and incorporates an 'experimental six cylinder
engine' which developed 33hp.
