By the looks of the radiator ( Doherty or Randle manufactured ) it appears to be an early, pre WW1,  Red Seal Continental engined 4- seater Morris Cowley. The headlights on the wings are non original!

Sackcloth and ashes time from the Morris Department. I'm reliably informed the car is dated 1920/21 and by that time would have had a Morris built engine ( although cribbed from Hotchkiss ) Additionally, the light positioning is correct. I think I'd better stick to Austins!

You can’t be right all the time Chris! I was quite happy to believe it was a very early car due to the diamond tufted upholstery, but you live and learn…
