The first car seen (Reg. No. UV 6520), is a 4.5 litre Bentley.
"Mr L Pomeroy" is Laurence Pomeroy.
The "1908 Hutton" is a famed 2-seater racing car called "Little Dorrit", and was the winner of the Isle of Man TT in 1908.
"1913 Vauxhall" should read 1914 Vauxhall.
The Lanchester (Reg. No. K 6731), is a 1913 Lanchester 38hp Torpedo Tourer.
The car seen at 02:20, (Reg. No. YR 509), is a 3-litre Bentley.
Then at 02:23, the car with Reg. No. DB 6390 is an Alvis 12/50.
The event the cars were setting off for was called the VMCCA Rally (Vintage Motor Car Club of America). That event took place on 27 April 1927.
Thanks.
Oops! My final comment should have read "That event took place on 27 April 1957".
