Beaded-edge wheels suggests the car dates from late 1924; is the young lady a District Nurse about to set off on her daily round?

Wonderful photograph...looking at the cottages in the background, a wild guess on the location would be East Anglia.

Mike,
This has got to be the period photograph of the year.

From the registration number it is more likely to be Surrey?
RE: Friends' Gallery Picture of the Month - May 2022 - Ivor Hawkins - 02-05-2022
I couldn’t see the registration number Colin, do you have @nother shot from a different angle?
RE: Friends' Gallery Picture of the Month - May 2022 - Colin Morgan - 02-05-2022
Looking carefully, it could be P ? ? ? 4 5 and most plates that start P are Surrey?
RE: Friends' Gallery Picture of the Month - May 2022 - Mike Costigan - 02-05-2022
'P' issues current in 1924/5 were PE (|Surrey), PM (East Sussex), PP (Buckinghamshire), PR (Dorset), PT (Durham), PU (Essex), PW (Norfolk), PX (West Suffolk) and PY (North Riding of Yorkshire) - take your pick!

If I had to choose, without prejudice, I would say "PE".
This the number stretched...

In Christchurch, NZ in the early years of last century, Nurse Maude ran a nursing service. A 1923 Austin Seven was gifted to her for her work. Her uniform and car were similar, though not, perhaps, the hat.
The Nurse Maude organisation is very much still going - although now in Japanese hatch-backs.
Her car is displayed at Ferrymead Historic Park.
