As you may have seen, this photo is in the latest Grey Magazine 2022B with a question as to why it says April 1922 on the back.
The picture also appears in the Source Book on p48 where it says it is Chassis No A-95 - so one of the first 100.
Perhaps the car was registered in the Summer of 1922, then photographed later, with the date on the back being the date of manufacture of the car itself?
But could that have been as early as April 1922? Easter Sunday in 1922 was April 16th - so late - and wasn't this when the first prototypes were started?

This has made we wonder how far things had progressed by this time 100 years ago - mid-May 1922? The first prototypes being started up and tested?
