More about this scene
During the 1920s two-seater light cars made in the sports form were becoming popular. They were easily recognisable with their polished aluminium bodies and pointed tails, and were capable of speeds approaching 70mph. In this picture a sporty pair zoom along Lord Street. In the 1920s Southport, along with Blackpool, Skegness and Porthcawl, held speed events for sports cars along the sands or the promenade, and it was possible to tax and equip high-powered cars such as the 2-litre Grand Prix Sunbeam for use on the roads.
