Timothy P submitted this delightful photo of an early C-bodied chummy back in 2017:

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?

Looking carefully, it could be P ? ? ? 4 5 and most plates that start P are Surrey?

'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.
