Mike, so given that the trees are bare and Zita and Irene were both dressed in very warm clothes, the date of the photograph can only be as early fall 1922 and must be either one of the 100 or so of the first batch of cars, the first satisfactory prototype, or one of the other two prototypes if their prop shafts had been changed to the half and half(half enclosed and half open). I suppose that the completely enclosed prop shaft car could have stayed that way, but the open prop shaft car would never have made it on the road as this car is. Of course, I'm making the assumption that spring doesn't come any later in the UK than it does here. Our trees are now full, but it feels like March with the temperatures only in the forties, F, and constant rain.;-)
